ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Pathophysiology of Eczema - ✔✔Two main hypotheses have been proposed
regarding the development of inflammation that leads to AD. The first suggests a
primary immune dysfunction resulting in sensitization, allergic inflammation, and a
secondary epithelial barrier disturbance. The second proposes a primary defect in the
epithelial barrier leading to secondary immunologic dysregulation and resulting in
inflammation.
✔✔Gout - ✔✔sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in the
joints, often the joint at the base of the big toe. An attack of gout can occur suddenly,
often
waking you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire
✔✔Deep vein thrombosis - ✔✔Leg pain or swelling may occur, but there may be no
symptoms
✔✔Cellulitis - ✔✔Red area of skin, swelling, tenderness, pain, warmth, fever, red spots,
blisters
✔✔Arterial occlusion in an extremity - ✔✔Pain, coldness, anesthesia, pallor,
pulselessness
✔✔HIV - ✔✔Fever, chills, rash, night sweats, and muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue,
swollen lymph nodes
✔✔Hepatitis - ✔✔Fatigue, sudden N/V, abdominal pain/discomfort, clay colored BM,
Loss of appetite, low grade fever, dark urine, and joint pain
✔✔SARS - ✔✔fever, dry cough, headache, muscle aches, and diff breathing
✔✔Tuberculosis - ✔✔coughing that lasts 3 or more weeks, coughing up blood, chest
pain with breathing/coughing, fatigue, fever, night sweats, and chills
, ✔✔Brzezinski's sign - ✔✔one of the physically demonstrable symptoms of meningitis.
Severe neck stiffness causes a patient hips and knees to flex when the neck is flexed
✔✔Nuchal rigidity - ✔✔an inability to flex the neck forward due to rigidity of the neck
muscles. Similar to Kernigs sign, research has shown that many people with meningitis
dont have the Brudzinski sign or nuchal rigidity
✔✔Petechia - ✔✔tiny purple, red, or brown spots on the skin. They usually appear on
your arms, legs, stomach, and buttocks
✔✔Route of transmission of Influenza - ✔✔(1) by direct contact with infected
individuals; (2) by contact with contaminated objects (called fomites, such as toys,
doorknobs); and (3) by inhalation of
virus-laden aerosols.
✔✔Transmission of Common cold - ✔✔airborne droplets (aerosols), direct contact with
infected nasal
secretions, or fomites (contaminated objects)
✔✔Transmission of Hepatitis B - ✔✔Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other
body fluid infected with the hepatitis B virus enters the body of someone who is not
infected. People can become infected with the virus from: Birth (spread from an infected
mother to her baby during
birth)
✔✔Transmission of HIV - ✔✔body fluids—blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-
cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk—from a person who has HIV can
transmit HIV
✔✔Transmission of Tuberculosis- - ✔✔Airborne
✔✔Transmission of Chicken pox - ✔✔person to person contact by directly touching the
blisters, saliva or mucus of an infected person. The virus can also be transmitted
through the air by coughing and
sneezing.
✔✔Transmission of meningitis - ✔✔person-to-person through droplets of respiratory or
throat secretions from carriers. Smoking, close and prolonged contact - such as kissing,
sneezing or coughing
on someone, or living in close quarters with a carrier - facilitates the spread of the
disease.
✔✔transmission of Measles - ✔✔direct contact with infectious droplets or by airborne
spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes
