A newborn infant has immunity from their mother. Which type of immunity is it?

A. Red, like blood:

Lymph is typically clear to pale yellow; it lacks red blood cells, which give blood its red color.

B. Formed when fluid is filtered across the subclavian veins into the tissue spaces:

Lymph forms from interstitial (tissue) fluid, not from fluid filtered from veins into tissues.

C. Formed from tissue fluid:

Lymph originates as interstitial fluid that enters lymphatic vessels and is transported back into the circulatory system.

D. Pumped by the left heart into systemic circulation:

Lymph is not pumped by the heart; it moves through the lymphatic system via muscle contractions and valves.

A. Discuss alternative treatment options with the patient

Treatment decisions are made by the provider, not independently by the nurse.

B. Interpret the results of the culture and sensitivity report and make changes to the antibiotic regimen if necessary

Interpreting results and altering regimens is the role of the provider or pharmacist.

C. Administer the antibiotics to the patient as prescribed

This is a nursing duty but doesn't answer the question about explaining the results.

D. Explain the purpose of the culture and sensitivity report and how it guides antibiotic therapy

The nurse educates the patient on why the test was done and how the results help select effective antibiotics.
