MRSA correct answers Red, swollen, may look like a boil with pus. Also skin rash or sore.
Transmitted usually skin to skin. Infection can spread to the lungs, causing pneumonia, or to the
bloodstream.
MRSA correct answers What disease requires a diagnosis with a rapid blood test (StaphSR
assay) and can be treated by draining a skin sore and/or antibiotic therapy?
Malaria correct answers Disease w/ symptoms such as fever, chills, sweating, headache, nausea,
vomiting, and other flu like symptoms.
Staph Infection correct answers This disease that causes infection in wounds that can be reddend,
swollen, and warm to the touch.
staph infection correct answers This disease is diagnosed by collecting a tissue sample or nasal
secretions for signs of drug resistant bacteria.
Draining the skin sore and/or antibiotic therapy correct answers What is a common treatment for
a staph infection?
active immunity correct answers Immunity that occurs as a result of prior exposure to infections
agents or its antigens. Can occur after having the disease.
passive immunity correct answers immunity that occurs when a person is given antibodies to a
disease rather than producing them. Can occur after receiving and immunization against a
disease.
Malignant Tumors correct answers Tumor that spreads to other cells, tissues, and other parts of
the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system through a process called metastasis.
,Benign Tumors correct answers Tumor that remains localized but can vary in size from small to
large. They have an excessive growth of cells but may grow slowly in early fatal.
metastasis correct answers What is the process that involves the spread of a tumor or cancer in
parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system?
Near Drowning correct answers Symptoms of this event occurs when a person generally aspirate
fluid or may have an obstructed airway caused by a spasm of the larynx one gas being
underwater, resulting in Hypoxemia (insufficient oxygenation of arterial blood). Other symptoms
include cold or blue or skin, abdominal swelling, chest pain, cough, shortness or lack of breath,
and vomiting.
Asphyxiation correct answers lack of oxygen coupled with accumulating carbon dioxide in the
blood. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, inability to breathe, development of bluish tent to
the skin, irregular heart rate, weakness, and seizures. Long-term results can include a coma and
death.
Allergies correct answers What disease's natural body defense mechanism is for the immune
system to produce IgE (Immunoglobin E) antibodies (chemicals designed to react to allergens)
and trigger histamine?
Allergies correct answers Treatments for this disease include: Antihistamine's, corticosteroids,
Decongestants, Saline nasal rinses, and immunotherapy.
Closed Fracture correct answers Type of fracture where there is a break in the bone w/ no
external skin wound
Open or compound fracture correct answers Type of fracture where there is a break in the bone
with an open wound leading down to the fracture site where were a piece of broken bone
protruding through the skin.
, Simple fracture correct answers Type of fracture that is a break in the rib and is broken into two
parts
Comminuted fracture correct answers Type of fracture where the bone is broken or splintered
into pieces
Impacted fracture correct answers Type of fracture where the bone is broken with one end forced
into the interior of the other
Incomplete partial fracture correct answers Type of fracture where the fraction line does not
include the whole bone (stress fracture)
Greenstick fracture correct answers Type of fracture where the bone partially bent or split; occurs
often with soft bones
Colles fracture correct answers Type of fracture with break in the end of the radius in wrist; often
occurs when the wrist is extended to break a fall
fracture correct answers What disease includes acute pain of the affected side, deformity,
swelling, discoloration, loss of limb function, muscle spasm, and possibly hemorrhage and shock
And can be diagnosed via an x-ray and/or bone scintiscan?
Dislocation correct answers Symptoms include visibility of bone being out of alignment, pain in
the joint, swelling, bruising, instability of the joint, and loss of ability to move the joint.
Sprain correct answers stretching/tearing of ligaments surrounding a joint
Strain correct answers overstretching/tearing of muscle or tendon
