Immune System: nursing interventions for patients with HIV and AIDS

(>1 ans) Which of the following are true CD4+ T cell count is used to monitor immune system function in HIV-positive people AIDS patients have an increased risk of developing various cancers HIV-1 infection causes immune deficiencies The most clinically important retrovirus is HIV-1 HIV-1 is an enveloped virus

The majority of vaccines work by eliciting pathogen-specific antibodies that circulate in our bodies and protect us in the event that we are later exposed to that specific pathogen. For most viruses and bacterial toxins that we are vaccinated against, these pre-existing antibodies are protective because They induce mucus production that helps flush the toxin or virus out of the body They bind to the virus or toxin and carry it to the liver where it can be degraded O They neutralize the virus or toxin, preventing it from attaching to and entering our cells They bind to epithelial cells and induce the production of antimicrobial peptides

When antibodies are created against a person’s own (“self”) antigens immunocompetence may result   an immunodeficiency disorder may result   an autoimmune disorder may result

If you come down with the flu, your body will launch an immune attack against the flu virus. During the recognition phase of the adaptive immune response: a   an antigen of the virus will be presented by an antigen-presenting cell and be recognized by T-helper cells b   B cells will recognize the viral particles and produce antibodies against them c   cytotoxic T cells will recognize the virus-infected cells and kill them d   antibodies will recognize the viral antigens, bind to them, and attract phagocytes e   a T-helper cell will recognize the viral antigen and stimulate B cells and cytotoxic T cells to divide
