NUR 115- Infection, Inflammation, Immunity
Question | Answer |
---|---|
A body-wide, complex, interrelated group of cells, tissues, and organs that work within a dynamic communication network to protect the body from attacks by foreign antigens. | IMMUNITY |
An immunological defense against tissue injury, infection, or allergy. Redness(rubor), pain (dolor), heat (calor), and swelling (tumor) are s/s of this. | INFLAMMATION |
Pathogen that causes an allergic response that is typcially inoffensive. | ALLERGEN |
Caused by damage to the inside surface of the joint | OSTEOARTHRITIS |
Result of immune system failure to distinguish between self and non self. Examples are Diabetes type I, Lupus, Graves Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis | AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE |
Act of engulfing and digesting pathogens | PHAGOCYTOSIS |
The fighter cells of the immune system, the count is elevated with bacterial infections. | WHITE BLOOD CELLS |
Invasion by microorganisms, multiplication of invading organisms, and resulting tissue damage | INFECTION |
A serious adverse effect of NSAIDS | GI BLEEDING |
Lab test to detect inflammation and immune system malfunction | ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) |
A method of receiving active acquired immunity | VACCINATION |
Also known as clean technique | MEDICAL ASEPSIS |
Set of specific practices and procedures performed to make equipment and areas free from all microorganisms | SURGICAL ASEPSIS |
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects of antibiotics. | BIG THREE |
A patient with palpable lymph nodes and fatigue is this: | IMMUNOSUPRESSED |
Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi) | ANTIGEN |
Caused by bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics | MRSA |
Causes sever diarrhea, must use soap and water on hands, must use bleach to clean rooms and medical equipment | C. Diff |
Increased during inflammatory process to allow more bloodflow and neutrophils and macrophages, oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to injury site | PERMEABILITY |
The body must form antibodies against pathogen, after vaccines or exposure to pathogens. | ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY |
Rest, ice, compression, elevation effective management of sprains and strains | RICE METHOD |
Period of time where person is contagious but may not have any symptoms at all | INCUBATION PERIOD |
Babies are born with this, it is temporary | INNATE IMMUNITY |
Serious adverse effect of antibiotics, indicated by rise in bun and creatinine | NEPHROTOXICITY |
Ringing in the ears, sign of ototoxicity with certain antibiotic therapy | TINNITIS |
Closely related to penicillins, watch for allergic reaction if giving this and the patient is allergic to penicillins | CEPHALOSPORINS |
Deformities at the distal knuckle found with osteoarthritis | HEBERDENS NODES |
Deformities at the proximal knuckle found with osteoarthritis | BOUCHARDS NODES |
Infection that occurs when immune system is tied up fighting other infections | OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION |
Glycopeptid antibiotic, Side effects/adverse reactions: Ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, red-man syndrome | Vancomycin |
Cephalospoin antibiotics, Side effects/adverse reactions: diarrhea, secondary infections | Cefepime, Cefazolin |
Antifungal, Side effects/adverse reactions: Nephrotoxicity, thrombophlebitis, fever, chills, electrolyte imbalance, nausea, vomiting | Amphotericin B |
Penicillin, Side effects/adverse reactions: Diarrhea, upset stomach, interferes with oral contraceptives | Ampicillin |
Aminoglycoside antibiotic, Side effects/adverse reactions: Nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity | Gentamicin |
Infection as a result of antibiotic therapy, yeast infections, C. Diff | SECONDARY INFECTION |
Attach to substance to flag it as "non-self" for the immune system to recognize and destroy | ANTIBODY |
