maintaining internal conditions in a stable state by 2: homeostasis
keeping parameters relatively the same/ the state of
being in which all systems are in balance around a fairly
narrow ideal "set point"
ability to successfully adapt to changes 2: allostasis
physical, chemical, or emotional factor that produces 2: stress
tension in the body or mind

subjective characteristics of a disease that only the Symptoms are
patient can feel
interval between initial infection and first signs and incubation period/ Latent
symptoms
time of mild signs or symptoms indicating onset of prodomal phase
disease
the disease reaches its full intensity, and signs and Manifest Phase
symptoms attain their greatest severity
gradual recovery after an illness convalescence

Subjective feelings from patient Symptoms
S/S that has not been identified syndrome
, NSG 3280 Exam 1
a sudden increase in severity of disease or signs or exacerbation
symptoms
improvement or absence of signs of disease Remission
Stage of a disease or disorder not severe enough to subclinical
produce symptoms that can be detected or diagnosed.
subsequent pathologic condition resulting from an sequela
acute illness
local region or native disease endemic disease
disease acquired by many hosts in a given area in a epidemic disease
short time
worldwide epidemic pandemic disease
Efforts to limit the effects of an injury or illness that you secondary prevention
cannot completely prevent. Colonoscopies, treating for
obesity, high BP but being treated for it,
Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from ever primary prevention
occurring. Vaccinations
actions taken to contain damage once a disease or tertiary prevention
disability has progressed beyond its early stages.
Therapies
A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal Homeostasis
state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry,
such as blood glucose, around a particular level
process by which the body achieves stability through Allostasis
physiological change
-alarm GAS stages of stress
-resistance
-exhaustion
organism recognizes stress, begins to respond. Fight or alarm stage of GAS
flight and sympathetic nervous system engages
epinephrine and norepinephrine
second stage; resistance stage of GAS
body functions normalize while responding to the
stressor. The body attempts to cope with the stressor
normalization/resolution of glucocorticoid secretion,
fight or flight, and secretions and epinephrine and
norepinephrine.
