Psoriasis vulgaris - correct answer ✔✔reddened, thickened skin with silvery white scales and bilateral
Exfoliative psoriasis - correct answer ✔✔-very eruptive and inflammatory form of disease with generalized erythema and scaling
-examine for signs of dehydration and hypothermia or hyperthermia r/t severe inflammatory reaction
-can have reduced fluid volume through evaporative water loss from the skin surface
Palmoplantar psoriasis - correct answer ✔✔thickened erythematous plaques, with fissuring on the plantar or soles.
- see scaling and nail changes
Topical Therapies for Psoriasis - correct answer ✔✔· Topical corticosteroids --Tazarotene (Tazorac), salicylic acid (Neutrogena)
· Topical immunomodulators (TIMs): --Suppress immune system
· Retinoid-like compounds
systemic medications psoriasis - correct answer ✔✔cytotoxic meds, biologic agents, cyclosporine and azathioprine
therapeutic treatment psoriasis - correct answer ✔✔photochemotherapy and UV light therapy, narrowband UV B light therapy and laser therapy
Antigens - correct answer ✔✔a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the
body, especially the production of antibodies.
immune response - correct answer ✔✔the body's specific recognition, response, and memory to a pathogen attack Peyer's patches - correct answer ✔✔the numerous areas of lymphoid tissue in the wall of the small intestine that are involved in the development of immunity to antigens present there.
Immunocompetence - correct answer ✔✔is the ability of individual cells to recognize a specific antigen by binding to it
immunocompromised - correct answer ✔✔impaired immunologic defenses caused by an immunodeficiency disorder or by therapy with immunosuppressive agents
humoral immune response - correct answer ✔✔The branch of acquired immunity that involves the activation of B cells and that leads to the production of antibodies, which defend against bacteria and viruses in body fluids.
cellular immune response - correct answer ✔✔the immune system's third line of defense, involving the attack of pathogens by T cells
B lymphocytes - correct answer ✔✔form in the bone marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial infections
T lymphocytes - correct answer ✔✔form in the thymus and other lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances
innate immunity - correct answer ✔✔Immunity that is present before exposure and effective from birth. Responds to a broad range of pathogens.
acquired immunity - correct answer ✔✔production of antibodies and lymphocytes after exposure to an antigen
passive immunity - correct answer ✔✔the short-term immunity that results from the introduction of antibodies from another person or animal.
Types of vaccinations - correct answer ✔✔Weak or attenuated cells
