NSG 5140: ADV PATHO Midterm Study Guide UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
virus that causes Mono EBV (a herpes virus) that infects B-cell lymphocytes
Mono mode of transmission saliva
lab finding that supports mono dx atypical lymphocytes
complication of Mono splenic rupture (avoid sports)
, Mantoux test evaluates exposure to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
TST measures which immune response Type IV hypersensitivity (measures delayed T-cell mediated immune response
+ TB in high risk patient >=5mm (HIV+) they have weaker immune response
Latent TB differs from active TB because normal CXR; no symptoms
most effective prevention for TB transmission Airborne precautions maintained (N-95, -pressure room
what symptom suggest progression from latent TB to chronic cough and weight loss
active TB
TB transmitted through airborne droplets
AIDS diagnostic criteria CD4 < 200, HIV+ with AIDS-defining illness
What condition automatic dx of AIDs Opportunistic infections like PCP, Kaposi's Sarcoma or Pneumocystis Jirovecii
pneumonia
HIV primarily targets CD4 T-cells leading to a cascade of immune system failure.
PrEP prevents HIV when used regularly; Truvada or Descovy
Legionnaire's disease affects the Respiratory system
Legionella transmitted through contaminated water aerosols
who is highest risk for Legionnaires Advanced age, smoker, and immunocompromised
hallmark symptom of Legionnaires high fever and pneumonia, Gi symptoms, hyponatremia
amox rash in mono patients d/t immune complex reaction b/w mono and amoxicillin
Normal PaCO2 PaCO2 35-45 mmHg
Tachypnea's effect on PaCO2 decreases it; blows off CO2 leading to respiratory alkalosis
Bradypnea's effect on PaCO2 hypercapnea; causes CO2 retention
most common cause of COPD smoking
Asthma is described as reversible airway inflammation
COPD involves chronic inflammation and air trapping
key difference between asthma and COPD is that asthma has reversible airflow limitation
