The employee health nurse is working with a nursing student who has just sustained a needlestick injury and has received a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin. The nurse is counseling the student about vaccination against hepatitis B.
 
  Which statement by the student indicates understanding?
  A) I will make an appointment to start the hepatitis B vaccination series within the next 3 months.
  B) I will only need to receive two doses of the hepatitis B vaccine because you just gave me one dose of the immune globulin.
  C) I need to start the hepatitis B vaccination series as soon as possible.
  D) I don't need to receive the hepatitis B vaccine because I will now produce antibodies against hepatitis B.

Ans: C
Feedback:
Some protection against infectious disease can be provided by the injection of hyperimmune serum, which contains high concentrations of antibodies for a specific disease, or immune serum or gamma globulin, which contains a pool of antibodies from many individuals, providing protection against many infectious agents. Passive immunity produces only short-term protection that lasts weeks to months.
