A client's immune system has the ability to protect itself from external invaders. What type of immune function is present when this occurs?
A) Immunosuppression
B) Immunocompetence
C) An immune response
D) Immune incompatibility
B
Feedback:
The immune system is a collection of specialized white blood cells and lymphoid tissues that maintain immunocompetence, the ability to cooperatively protect a person from external invaders and the body's own altered cells. Immunosuppression is the opposite and the white blood cells and lymphoid tissue are not able to protect a person from external invaders. An immune response, primarily involves the lymphocytes that are located in blood and lymphoid tissue. Immune incompatibility is not relevant in this situation.
