response; immunity, which is beneficial and hypersensitivity which

hypersensitivity to environmental antigens, and immunity means

Types of Hypersensitivity Ans: Type 1- Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-

11. Presence of antinuclear antibody (ANA)
Purpose of Vaccinations Ans: To induce active immunologic
protection before exposure to the risks of infection.

Hepatomegaly, indicating right-sided heart failure, in the elderly
and splenomegaly is nonpalable. There can also be neurological
deficient.
Lab values of Pernicious Anemia Ans: Hemoglobin- low
Hematocrit- low
Reticulocyte Count-low
Mean Corpuscular volume- high
Plasma Iron- High
Total Iron-binding capacity- Normal
Ferritin- High
Serum B12- Low
Folate- Normal
Bilirubin- Slightly high
Free erythrocyte protoporphin- Normal
Transferrin- Slightly high
Iron Deficiency Anemia Ans: This is characterized by abnormally
small erythrocytes that contain abnormally reduced amount of
hemoglobin. This is caused by inadequate dietary intake and
excessive blood loss.
