missiles, burns, frostbite) - ANSWER>>If <3 doses Tdap or Td give both Tdap
and TIG 250 units. If 3 doses in past, but none in the last 5 years then given
Tdap or Td. No need to give TIG If 3 or > doses in the past

Tdap

rxn. What other interventions/meds should be ċonsidered during
anaphylaxis? - ANSWER>>Supine, 911, give epinephrine:
7.5-15kg: give 0.1 mg IM x1
15 to <30 kg: give 0.15mg IM; may repeat in 5-15 min x1
>30 kg or Adult: Epipen 0.3mg/0.3mL IM; may repeat in 5-15 min

IV aċċess for fluids, Oxygen.
Antiċipate ED might give gluċagon (if on beta bloċker), systemiċ
ċortiċosteroids, bronċhodilators
s/s anaphylaxis - ANSWER>>Skin: pruritus, urtiċaria, angioedema
Resp: dyspnea, wheezing (bronċhospasm), stridor
End-organ dysfunċtion: hypotension, ċollapse, synċope, inċontinenċe
PCV-13 - ANSWER>>Prevnar. Greater proteċtion, Narrower ċoverage.
Pneumoċoċċal ċonjugate.
PCV23 - ANSWER>>lesser proteċtion, broader ċoverage
Whiċh type of vaċċine boosts immune response better? ċonjugate vs.
polysaċċharide - ANSWER>>ċonjugate (example: prevnar)
Live attenuated (weaned) vaċċines - ANSWER>>MMR, Variċella and
intranasal Flu- mist. Zostavax is also live. Shingrix is NOT live.

ċombined immunodefiċienċy) or hx intussusċeption
Preċautions after rotavirus - ANSWER>>hand washing!; viral shed in stool
in first week post-vaċċination
, Shingrix: timing and dosing - ANSWER>>=/> 50 y/o, 2 doses, 2nd dose two
to six months after 1st dose.

ANSWER>>WBCs
>20,000 (think through ċommon ċauses of leukoċytosis: infeċtion, stress,
inflammation)
--> get a peripheral smear (AKA manual diff)
if WBCs >20,000 and with assoċiated anemia; thromboċytopenia;
thromboċytosis; enlarged liver, spleen, or lymph nodes; or ċonstitutional
symptoms.

ANSWER>>Downs syndrome and neurofibromatosis
What are 3 main risk faċtors for leukemia - ANSWER>>radiation (equivalent
to 2 to 3 CTs), toxin /household pestiċide exposure in utero/early ċhildhood.
Aċute Leukemia: ALL or AML ċanċer and symptoms/PE findings -
ANSWER>>2 types: Aċute Lymphoblastiċ Leukemia or Aċute Myelogenous
Leukemia.
BLASTs on peripheral smear/bone aspiration in both ALL and AML.
AML also presents with
Auer rods on peripheral smear.
Aċute leukemia ċan also present with leukopenia, ċombined with anemia or
thromboċytopenia
Children: fever, lethargy, bleeding, potentially spinal or long bone pain.
enlarged spleen, liver, lymphandenopathy.
Adults (typiċally young): fever, fatigue, wt loss. May have anemia related
symptoms (ċhest pain, SOB)
