Describe the difference between specific and nonspecific immunity.

Specific immunity is a type of immunity that fights back specific viruses or bacteria.
nonspecific immunity is is a type of immunity that fights back any type of bacteria. One example of this is your skin.

Another difference is. The nonspecific response is the first barrier against a pathogen.
While a specific response remembers a pathogen and can fight it back more easily.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
