3. Naturally acquired immunity occurs when neonates receive antibodies from their mothers.
4. Active immunity can be naturally acquired by developing the disease.

1. There is no vaccination for tuberculosis.
2. Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for anyone at high risk for exposure to blood and/or other body fluids.
3. There is no vaccination for hepatitis C.

1. Natural immunity doesn't occur, because strains of influenza change yearly.
2. The elderly are advised to have yearly influenza immunizations.
3. Reactions to the vaccine can be enhanced in the immunocompromised client.
4. The vaccine is given to stimulate antibody production in case the person is exposed to the virus.

1. The goal for the client with AIDS is that the client has some hope.
2. A loss of 10 pounds indicates that the client is losing weight and has not met goals.
3. A goal would be for the client to have no sores on the body.
4. The AIDS client who has no opportunistic infections has met a goal of care.

3. The family should be instructed to wear gloves when cleaning.
4. Cats and birds can carry toxoplasmosis and other diseases that do not affect those with a normal immune system but can cause illness in the HIV/AIDS client. Families should be encouraged not to have these animals in the home, if possible.
