ANS: A
Some bacteria, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae that causes gonorrhea, must attach to specific sites on urogenital epithelial cells. Antibodies may protect the host by covering sites on the microor-ganism that are needed for attachment, thereby preventing infection. Neither a vaccination, the protection of platelets, nor the release of IgE was relevant to the client's ability to avoid con-tracting this disease.
