NUR 215 FUNDAMENTALS EXAM 2- MODULES
3, 4 AND 5 TEST
Chain of Infection: 1. Reservoir 2. Infectious Agent
3. Exit Portal
4. Transmission Mode
5. Entry Point 6. Vulnerable Host
An infectious agent is a microorganism that inhabits the human body and does
not cause harm.
The place where diseases reside and proliferate is called a reservoir.
exit portal ANSWER Through bodily fluids (IV lines, diarrhea, sneezing,
coughing)
transmission method: ANSWER Direct or indirect contact, such as kissing,
touching, or coming into contact with a contaminated surface
The hole via which an infectious disease enters the host's body (eyes, mouth,
wound, vagina, etc.) is known as the portal of entry.
A susceptible host is a person who is more likely to contract an infection or
illness (younger, elderly, or with a weakened immune system).
Answer: Local infection cause damage to a specific area of the body (primary)
such as a single bone, joint, urethra, etc.
main infection: ANSWER The patient's initial infection
A systemic infection is an infection that spreads throughout the body and
infiltrates the lymphatic or blood vessels (secondary).
ANSWER is a secondary infection that comes after a main infection.
, exogenous—answers obtained from the medical setting
Endogenous: ANSWER originates from the patient's typical vegetation
Acute infection: quick onset, brief duration
ANSWER for chronic infection A long-lasting infection that progresses
gradually
Excoriation: ANSWER loss of the skin's outermost layers (e.g., by incontinence
or scratching)
Maceration: A ANSWER extended moisture-induced softening of the skin
(e.g., urine incontinence)
Normal range for WBC counts: ANSWER 5,000–10,000
Blood culture is normal. ANSWER: No infectious bacteria have grown.
Normal urine culture: ANSWER: No growth of microorganisms
Normal throat/wound culture—ANSWER No growth of infectious
microorganisms (microorganisms are normal).
The normal RBC sed rate is 15 mm/he for men and 20 mm/hr for women.
Normal iron level: ANSWER: 60-90 g/100 mg
Skin or subcutaneous tissue ANSWER for cutaneous pain
ANSWER ligaments, tendons, bones, blood vessels, and nerves cause severe
somatic pain.
Visceral pain: A ANSWER Menstrual cycle, abdomen, and deep pain receptors
Pain radiating - ANSWER Pain traveling
