· How does a vaccine provide immunity?
reflexes, tremors, muscle spasms, seizures, laryngeal spasms, increased bowel sounds, abdominal
cramping, and positive Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs Active immunity - antigen exposure
Hypophosphatemia - dysrhythmias, electrocardiogram changes, personality changes, confusion,
decreased memory, headache, lethargy, stupor, coma, muscle weakness, decreased deep tendon
· Active immunity
reflexes, anorexia, nausea, vomiting,
Vaccine, or having the virus - Body builds immunity through exposure
Function of ribosomes
· Passive immunity
Synthesizes proteins
Receiving antibodies from external source - breastfeeding
· Hypervolemia
· identify examples of malignant cells
Fluid volume excess in intravascular space
Rapid growing, metastasis, fatal, undifferentiated
· Hypovolemia
· Assessment findings for localized inflammation
Fluid volume deficit in intravascular space
Destroyed tissue, redness, swelling, heat, pain, function loss
· Homeostasis
o Type I: IgE mediated
State of balance - reached by positive and negative feedback - self regulated
Hay fever, food allergy, anaphylaxis

Lung allergens
o Type II IgM/IgG: cytotoxic hypersensitivity reaction Bronchospasm, edema, thick secretions
Blood transfusion reaction, erythroblastosis fetalis
· Manifestations of fight/flight response
o Type III: immune complex-mediated Increase HR, increased respirations, diaphoresis, pupil dilation, increased blood flow to muscles,
strength, alertness, decreased inflammation
Autoimmune conditions - Lupus
o Complication of compartment syndrome
o Type IV: delayed hypersensitivity reaction
results from increased pressure in a compartment, usually the muscle fascia in the case of
Tuberculin skin testing, transplant reactions, contact dermatitis
fractures
· What findings would you expect in someone with an anaphylactic reaction?
o What is contact dermatitis?
Bronchodilation, airway constriction,
Acute inflammatory reaction triggered by direct exposure to an irritant or allergen-producing
substance
Manifestations of a type 1 hypersensitivity
GI allergy o Clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain Fatigue, anorexia, fever, malaise, muscle spasms, morning stiffness, warmth and tenderness in
joints, anemia, depression, unsteady gait
Skin manifestations
