1. natural immunity (innate or native) - ANSWER ✔ type of immunity that
includes physical barriers (e.g., skin), phagocytic cells, and natural killer
cells. All of these factors are present before exposure to a particular
infectious agent, and all respond nonspecifically.
2. specific acquired immunity - ANSWER ✔ Immunity in which responses
occur only after exposure to a foreign substance. Objective is to destroy
antigens
3. Antigens - ANSWER ✔ The foreign substances that induce specific
responses in specific acquired immunity
4. Cell-mediated, Humoral (antibody-mediated) - ANSWER ✔ the two classes
of specific acquired immunity
,5. Cell-mediated immunity - ANSWER ✔ refers to immune responses in which
targets are attacked directly by immune system cells—specifically, cytolytic
T cells and macrophages
6. Humoral immunity - ANSWER ✔ refers to immune responses that are
mediated by antibodies.
7. B lymphocytes - ANSWER ✔ have the job of making antibodies. Hence
mediates humoral immunity. produced in the bone marrow.
8. Cytolytic T Cells - ANSWER ✔ attack and kill target cells directly, mature
in the thymus
9. Helper T cells - ANSWER ✔ contribute to the immune response in three
ways: (1) they have an essential role in antibody production by B cells; (2)
they release factors that promote type IV sensitivity reactions, also known as
delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH); and (3) they participate in the
activation of cytolytic T cells.
Are the immune cell that HIV attacks
Mature in the thymus
10.Aspirin - ANSWER ✔ NSAID that protects against MI, Stroke (others
slightly increase the risk for thrombotic events)
11.Aspirin - ANSWER ✔ Non-selectively and irreversibly inhibits
cyclooxygenase, reducing prostaglandin and thromboxane A2 synthesis,
producing analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects and reducing
platelet aggregation
,12.Aspirin - ANSWER ✔ •Pregnancy: Poses risk for premature closure of the
ductus arteriosus and increased risk for anemia and postpartum hemorrhage.
Do not give full dose in pregnancy starting at 30 weeks gestation (low-dose
is ok); Do give full dose to a breastfeeding mom of infant with viral
infection
•Monitor for salicylism
13.ringing in the ears - ANSWER ✔ major sign of salicylism
14.ibuprofen (advil) - ANSWER ✔ •Inhibits cyclooxygenase, reducing
prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis (reversible)
15.Ibuprofen, Celebrex - ANSWER ✔ •BBW: CV Thrombotic Event and GI
Bleeding, Ulceration and Perforation
16.Ibuprofen - ANSWER ✔ NSAID that may delay ovulation, caution with
females trying to conceive
17.Ibuprofen - ANSWER ✔ •Monitoring: Cr if severe renal dz; CBC, chemistry
profile if long-term tx; BP; s/sx hepatic impairment in peds pts if dose >30
mg/kg/day or abnormal LFTs w/ prior NSAID tx
•Take with food or milk to lessen stomach upset.
•"can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. Do not use this
medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass
graft, or CABG). may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can
be fatal."
18.Ibuprofen - ANSWER ✔ NSAID of choice while breastfeeding
, 19.Ibuprofen, Celebrex - ANSWER ✔ NSAIDs to avoid at 30 weeks gestation,
weigh risk/benefits, may use while breastfeeding
20.AE of clindamycin - ANSWER ✔ pseudomembranous colitis (C. Diff)
21.PT of ciprofloxacin - ANSWER ✔ treat UTI - drug of choice
22.AE of ciprofloxacin - ANSWER ✔ GI upset, arthopathy
23.Interactions of ciprofloxacin - ANSWER ✔ calcium/mineral salts, caffeine
24.AE of cefazolin - ANSWER ✔ possible serious CNS effects
25.Contra/precautions of cefazolin - ANSWER ✔ known allergy to PCNs or
Cephalosporins
26.Interactions of Cefazolin - ANSWER ✔ ALCOHOL, probenecid,
aminoglycosides
27.Nursing Assessment of Cefepime - ANSWER ✔ all groups, gram pos &
neg/greatest spectrum
28.PK of penicillin G - ANSWER ✔ IM or IV
29.PK of penicillin VK - ANSWER ✔ oral
