CMN 571 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
Review the types of immunity
(Start Module 1) - correct answer Innate immunity: Everyone is born with innate (or natural)
immunity, a type of general protection. For example, the skin acts as a barrier to block germs
from entering the body. And the immune system recognizes when certain invaders are foreign
and could be dangerous.
Adaptive immunity: Adaptive (or active) immunity develops throughout our lives. We develop
adaptive immunity when we're exposed to diseases or when we're immunized against them
with vaccines.
Passive immunity: Passive immunity is "borrowed" from another source and it lasts for a short
time. For example, antibodies in a mother's breast milk give a baby temporary immunity to
diseases the mother has been exposed to
active immunity - correct answer Active immunity is usually permanent.Acquired through
exposure and infection with the disease or artificially acquired through immunization.Onset is a
few weeks and usually last a lifetime
passive immunity - correct answer A person is given antibodies to a disease rather than
produterm-61cing their own & it is short -term immunity. ( Example Mother to baby).
herd immunity - correct answer This occurs when a significant portion of the population is
vaccinated and that provides a portion of immunity for those that have not developed
immunity. The population (herd) helps prevent disease in the unprotected population. The herd
protects those who can not safely get vaccinations. Generally 90 -95% of the population should
be vaccinated to haveeffective Herd immunity.
Review the routine immunization required for infant and children 0-6 as found on the CDC
immunization schedule. - correct answer
Immunization given @ birth - correct answer Hep B (B=HepB)
Immunizations @ 2 mths - correct answer HepB, DTaP, RV, Hib, IPV, PCV
(2 B Dr Hip)
Immunizations @ 4 mths - correct answer DTaP, RV, HiB, IPV, PCV
(4 Dr Hip)
Immunizations @ 6 mths - correct answer HepB, DTaP, RV, Hib, Influenza (yrly) PCV, IPV
(B Dr Hip In 6mths)
,CMN 571 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
Immunizations @ 1-1.5 yrs - correct answer MMR, HepA, DTaP, Hib, PCV, Varicella
(1 MAD HPV)
Immunizations @ 4-6 yrs - correct answer Varicella, DTaP, IPV, MMR
(Very Dim 4-6pm)
How long should live-virus vaccination be delayed if an immunoglobulin (1g) or blood product
was given? - correct answer 3-11 months
What paperwork is required to review with the caregiver/parent before vaccination
administration? - correct answer Vaccine Information Sheets (VIS) for each vaccine given.
Obtain from CDC website. Dr. Lang's notes.
What is the difference between DTap and Tdap? - correct answer . The pediatric formulation
will have about 3-5 times the amount of diphtheria component compared to the adult
formulation. Therefore, you will see it indicated with an upper-case "D" (DTaP) and lower-case
"d" in the adult formulation (Tdap, Td).
Think of it like this, DTaP helps young children develop immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, and
(whooping cough) pertussis. Tdap served as a "booster" for continued protection.
How many HepB doses does a child need before 6yo and which months are they
recommended? - correct answer 3 doses recommended at birth, 1-2mos & 6-18 mos
Review " Newborn Exam" by Dr. Nina Gold, MD, this is Very important! Video

Head - correct answer -hand behind posterior part of head, place measuring tape in cm around
head circumferance to measure

birth canal but resolves in few days after birth
-rarely: subgaleal hemmorhage
-finally, run fingers over back of head scapel to check for cutis aplasia (congenital anomaly
where scalp hasn't formed properly, not dangerous but throrough examination)

Atypical ear displacement isn't dangerous but could be genetic
