NUR 2063 Pathophysiology Final Exam

Explain primary prevention - Preventing"; altering susceptibility or reducing exposure of disease for people Explain secondary prevention - "Screening"; early detection, screening, and management of disease to catch disease early before it spreads Explain tertiary prevention - "Treating" and preventing further complications from a disorder or disease after the person has the condition What are examples of primary prevention? - Vaccinations and Handwashing What are examples of secondary prevention? - PAP smears for STDs, lab work for HBA1C check, mammogram What are examples of tertiary prevention? - Rehab for hip surgery, relearning ADL's after amputation, Wound care after stroke to prevent pressure ulcer What happens to the body during the sympathetic phase of the flight or fight response? - Pupils dilate, salivation inhibited, increase in HR, bronchodilation of airway, increased respirations, glucose release, inhibit GI/GU. What happens to the body during the parasympathetic phase of the flight or light response? - Rest and Digest. Pupils constrict, salivation occurs, decreased HR, bronchoconstriction,decreased respiration, GI/GU systems resume action Explain the role of the nucleus - control center of the cell, where DNA and genes are stored, produces mRNA to help build body proteins Explain the role of the mitochondria - Powerhouse of the cell. Provides energy in ATP, and has its own set of DNA Explain the role of the ribosome - produces RNA to produce proteins through transcriptions of DNA and translation of RNA into a protein Explain the role of the lysosomes - helps breakdown and digest dead cells, organelles, or tissues Explain the role of the rough ER - folded membranes that move proteins around the cell. Has ribosomes attached to it and helps produce proteins for the cell membrane Explain the role of the smooth ER - helps the Liver and kidney cells to detoxify, lipid metabolism, synthesis of hormones, and calcium storage Explain the role of the peroxisome - membrane cells that contain oxidase and catalase to detoxify harmful chemicals, breakdown hydrogen peroxide and filter metabolic wastes Explain the role of the Golgi body - stacked membranes that act as the sorter and packager for proteins from the ER. Helps move things in and out of cell Explain passive immunity - the transfer of preformed antibodies against specific antigens from a protected or immunized individual to an unprotected or non immunized person. Provides immediate and short term protection. No memory cells are produced. IgA and IgE. Passes protection What are examples of passive immunity? - mom to fetus through placenta or mom to infant through breast milk. Serotherapy
