What are the characteristics of a spider vein?
Give this one a try later!
Color and size: bluish, small to several inches
Shape: may resemble a spider, linear, irregular, cascading
Pulsatility and effect of pressure: absent (no blanching), but diffuse
pressure blanches the veins
Distribution: legs, anterior chest
Significance: accompanies increased pressure in the superficial veins (as in
varicose veins)
Growth and development: middle childhood (5-10 years)
,Give this one a try later!
- Concrete operational: limited logic and more complex learning, clear
sense of wrong/right
- Remains rooted in the present with little ability to understand
consequences
- Self-efficacy, more independent

Give this one a try later!
Pathogen: bacteria
Symptoms: trismus (lockjaw), neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, rigidity of
abdominal muscles, fever, sweating, high BP, rapid HR, spasms for 3-4
weeks
Complications: laryngospasm, HTN, PE, fractures
If a live vaccine is given first, wait ____ weeks to give the antibody

What is the difference between active and passive immunity?
Give this one a try later!
Passive: a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing
them through his or her own immune system (e.g. mother to baby,
immediate action but lasts for a couple weeks
Active: exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to
produce antibodies to that disease (e.g. infection with actual disease or
vaccine), takes time to develop but is long lasting
