- differentiate b/t a patient's need and a patient's problems?
-
patient needs water, food, shower
problems are like they can't go to work, pay the bills - differentiate b/t an actual problem & a potential problem?
-
actual problems are immediate problems
potential problems are what could happen - state what must be included in a 3 part nursing diagnosis?
- the diagnosis statement. Which is the problem, the related factors, which are the cause of the issue, and the third as manifested by the condition, like an open sore.
- differentiate b/t a medical diagnosis and a nursing diagnosis?
-
Medical diagnosis is a diagnosis of the disease
Nursing diagnosis indicates a patient's response to disease - describe a collaborated problem?

**************************** - Immunity is ...
- state of responsiveness to foreign substances
- 3 functions to immunity
-
defense:
Homeostatis:
Surveillance: -
there are properties to immunity:
speicifity. what is this? - specific antibodies
- there is immune memory. what is this?
- remembers an antigen
- there is self recognition. what is this?
- auto antibodies
- what is immunity specialization?
- different reactions
-
2 types of immunity
natural or acquired
whats the difference? - natural or innate is NOT produced by immune system, no contact with antigens
- wha is acquired immunity?
- developed actively or passively
- active acquired is by a response to antigens
-
natural from disease
artifical immunization
takes time but is long lasting - what about passive acquired, which host receives antibodies
-
natural: across placental
artifical: gamma globlin
begins stat but is short lived - name some physical barriers in immmune system
-
skin
cough
sneeze
cilia - what are some chemical barriers in immune systme?
-
hydrocloric acid in tummy
ph of vagina
substances in sweat
enzymes in tears/salvia - White Blood Cells are ...
- phagocytes macrophages
- what are granulocytes?
-
release cell mediators that fight invaders
lympocytes: B&T cells fight infection - the inflammatory response is a response to tissue injury or invaders. what or how does this work?
-
minimize blood loss
wall of invading organisms
activate phagocytes
regeneration of injured tissue - what is antitoxin?
- solution of antibodyies from animal serum! (passive immunity)
- what is a vaccine?
- live, weakened or killed organisms
- what is a toxid?
- a toxin but made non toxic, still able to stimulate antibodies
- what is immune globulin?
- human serum...rich in antibodies
- Recombinant DN is ...
- gene splicing to make a new protein,
- what is an antigen?
- substance the elicts an immune response (most are proteins)
- there are components to the immune sytem like the lympoid organs regarded as central and peripheral organs. what are central immune organs?
- thymus and bone marrow are central immune organs
- what are peripheral immune organs and things?
-
tonsils
gut
genital
bronchial
skin - what do the spleen and lymph nodes do?
- filter foreign stuff from the blood...keep us safe from the enviroment
- what are some components of the immune system. Mononuclear phagocytes are one. what else?
