The nurse is caring for a client admitted to an urgent care clinic due to an arm infection. The client reports being bitten by a raccoon on a recent camping trip. Based on this data, which treatment option does the nurse anticipate for this client?
A) An injection of immunoglobulin.
B) A tetanus toxoid injection.
C) Mother's breast milk with antibodies in it.
D) An immunization for rabies.
Answer: D
Receiving an immunization for rabies is an example of artificially acquired passive immunity. Receiving tetanus and immunoglobulin are also examples of artificially acquired passive immunity, but would not be used in the case of an animal bite. Mother's breast milk is another example of passive immunity, but would not be used in the case of an animal bite.
