PEDIATRIC NURSING; IMMUNIZATIONS. ALL MIDTERM
EXAM REVISION QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
(ALREADY GRADED A+) (2024 UPDATE) 100%
Immunoprophylaxis - ANSWER- Immunoprophylaxis against viral illnesses includes the use
of vaccines or antibody-containing preparations to provide immune protection against a specific
disease.

Active Prophylaxis (Vaccines) - ANSWER- - Active immunization involves administering a
virus preparation that stimulates the body's immune system to produce its own specific immunity.
Viral vaccines now available for use include the following types:
(1) attenuated live viruses
(2) killed viruses (inactivated)
(3) recombinant produced antigens

Immune Response to Vaccines - ANSWER- Vaccination evokes an antibody response and
stimulates T lymphocytes. Vaccine effectiveness is assessed in terms of percentage of recipients
protected and the duration and degree of protection. Most effective viral vaccines protect more
than 90 percent of recipients and produce fairly durable immunity.

Passive Prophylaxis - ANSWER- Passive immunity is conferred by administering antibodies
formed in another host. Human immunoglobulins remain a mainstay of passive prophylaxis (and
occasionally therapy) for viral illnesses; they are usually used to protect individuals who have been
exposed to a disease and cannot be protected by vaccination.

Public health laws relating to Vaccines - ANSWER- - laws in all 50 states require
documentation that child has received immunization as condition of first entry into school

VFC (Vaccines for children program) - ANSWER- Federal program that provides free vaccines
for qualified children and adolescents less than 19 years of age and has resolved some of the
economic factors associated with vaccine coverage
VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and Vaccine Safety Datalink Project -
ANSWER- The Vaccine Safety Datalink project, linking the CDC with eight managed care
organizations, allows monitoring regarding the adverse effects of vaccines. This data system
contains data from 9 million people who did and did not get a vaccine, and did or did not experience
adverse events. This system makes it possible to identify rare adverse events to vaccines. The

, Vaccine Safety Datalink project supplements the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which
enables notification of serious vaccine adverse events from all providers.
