Describe the role of immune modulators. What is the difference between immune modulators and immune suppressants?
Immune modulation refers to any process in which an immune response is altered to a desired level. Immune cells may either be suppressed or enhanced.
The difference is the way these two drugs work. immunomodulators disrupts production of the signals which determine how many immune cells get produced, but immunosuppressants kills immune cells that have already been produced.
2. Protecting a child from injury and infection is an important nursing consideration with immune-suppressant therapy. Develop a teaching plan for a 10-year-old on immune-suppressant therapy status post kidney transplant.
Define active immunity and passive immunity. Give an example of each type of immunity.
Passive immunity is provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her immune system. Passive immunity is immediate whereas active immunity takes several weeks to develop because the persons immune system must generate the antibodies for a disease to which the person was exposed.
You are working with a family who is opposed to vaccinations for their new infant. What is your nursing responsibility in this situation?
