Question 2

  2. Vaccinations have some risks, but the benefits outweigh the risks.
  3. I understand what you are saying; this is really your choice.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Nonspecific body defense is effective against many kinds of microbes and environmental hazards, not just bacteria.
Rationale 2: Specific body defense usually only acts against a single organism.
Rationale 3: Nonspecific body defense, not specific body defense, includes the complement system.
Rationale 4: Specific body defense, not nonspecific body defense, is known as the immune response.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: It is very non-therapeutic to tell a client not to worry.
Rationale 2: Vaccines have some risks, but many more deaths and serious illnesses occur from the diseases than from the vaccinations.
Rationale 3: Telling the client the nurse understands her is incomplete because it does not answer the client's question.
Rationale 4: Telling a client she does not have a choice with vaccinations is also non-therapeutic; many states do allow a parent to decline vaccinations.
