The mother of a newborn baby is concerned that the baby will develop illnesses from being around so many people. The nurse should explain that the baby has immunity that is present at birth or:
 
  1. acquired immunity.
  2. adaptive immunity.
  3. innate immunity.
  4. specific immunity.

Question 2

A client is diagnosed with appendicitis. One of the laboratory tests the nurse would expect to monitor would be:
 
  1. serum sodium.
  2. white blood cell (WBC) count.
  3. hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct).
  4. bilirubin level.

Answer to Question 1

3
Innate immunity or natural immunity is present at birth. It is nonspecific. Acquired immunity is immunity not present at birth and can also be adaptive or specific.

Answer to Question 2

2
Infection often accompanies the inflammation of the appendix. The nurse would be looking for an elevated WBC count. Serum sodium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and bilirubin levels are not necessarily indicated in the care of a client diagnosed with appendicitis.
