Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A tetanus toxoid injection is not specific for rabies.
Rationale 2: Receiving an immunization for rabies is an example of artificially acquired passive immunity.
Rationale 3: An injection of immunoglobulin is not specific for rabies.
Rationale 4: Mother's breast milk is another example of passive immunity, but not for rabies.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Assessing vital signs is important but should occur more frequently than once daily.
Rationale 2: Raising the temperature in a client's room would contribute to the growth of microorganisms.
Rationale 3: Washing hands is always the first and best way to stop the spread of microorganisms, which cause infections.
Rationale 4: Wearing a mask for all clients is not practical and is unnecessary unless a microorganism is airborne and the client is in isolation.
