Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Passive immunity occurs without stimulation of an immune response. Acquired immunity requires administration of immune globulin. Inherent resistance to a disease antigen describes the state of natural immunity, not acquired passive immunity. The other answers involve stimulation of an immune response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Gardasil is most effective when the client is not yet sexually active.
