In the story of Rick, Nick and Sick Tick why did Rick get sick and not Nick?

Nick had immunity against the disease

Rick got a communicable disease

Rick had a weak immune system

Rick got a contagious disease

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Nick had immunity against the disease

The scenario implies that Nick had resistance (immunity), preventing illness despite exposure.

B. Rick got a communicable disease

This is true but doesn’t explain why Nick didn’t get sick.

C. Rick had a weak immune system

This is speculative; the key point is that Nick had immunity, not that Rick was unusually weak.

D. Rick got a contagious disease

Contagious diseases can spread, but this still doesn't explain Nick’s protection.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Potassium

Potassium relates to fluid/electrolyte balance, not directly to infection.

B. WBC count

An elevated white blood cell (WBC) count indicates the body is mounting an immune response, suggesting infection.

C. BUN

BUN measures kidney function and hydration status, not infection.

D. RBC count

RBCs relate to oxygen-carrying capacity (anemia, blood loss), not infection.

A. Infection B. Thrombocytopenia C. Leukemia D. Anemia

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Infection:

The elevated WBC count and abnormal differential, along with symptoms of fever and chills, point to an active infection, which is consistent with recent exposure to ill children and no flu vaccine.

B. Thrombocytopenia:

Thrombocytopenia refers to a low platelet count, which was not provided or implied in the lab data.

C. Leukemia:

While leukemia can cause elevated WBCs, this client’s clinical picture fits a common infection, and leukemia typically presents with more severe or chronic symptoms and abnormal blood cell morphology.

D. Anemia:

The client’s hemoglobin and hematocrit are above normal, which rules out anemia.
