Conservation - Answer the principle (which Piaget believed to be a part of concrete
operational reasoning) that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same
despite changes in the forms of objects
Centration (Piaget) - Answer A child who focuses exclusively on a clown's red nose, but ignores
his/her other features would be illustrating the Piagetian concept of
Seriation (Piaget) - Answer things can be arranged in a series; crucial for understanding the
number sequence
Reversibility (Piaget) - Answer the capacity to think through a series of steps and then
mentally reverse direction, returning to the starting point
inflammation - Answer a localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes
reddened, swollen, hot, and often painful, especially as a reaction to injury or infection.
5 cardinal signs of inflammation - Answer heat, redness, swelling, pain, loss of function
immunity - Answer the ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the
action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
R.I.C.E - Answer rest, ice, compression, elevation
Pathogen - Answer An organism that causes disease
N.S.A.I.D - Answer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
steroid - Answer A type of lipid characterized by a carbon skeleton consisting of four rings with
various functional groups attached.
(Always raise blood pressure)
inate immunity - Answer means that you are immune to certain diseases just because of who
you are (Born w/ it)
,**Passive immunization provides immediate but short-term protection against antigens.**
Examples:
Cough reflex
Enzymes in tears and skin oil
Mucus, which traps bacteria and small particles.
Skin
Stomach acid
acquired immunity - Answer immunity that the body develops after it overcomes a disease, or
through inoculation (such as vaccination)
infection - Answer the establishment of pathogen in a susceptible host; a disease caused by
the infectious agent.
Chain of Infection - Answer Infectious agent
Source of Infection
Portal of exit
Mode of transmission
Portal of entry
Susceptible host
Active immunity - Answer Develops after introducing a foreign antigen resulting in the
formation of antibodies or sensitized T lymphocytes. It can come from a vaccine, exposure to an
infection or disease, or another person's antibodies (infection-fighting immune cells). There are
two types: humoral (antibody-mediated) and cellular (cell-mediated).Examples:
Lifetime immune response developed from immunization.
Immune response developed after exposure to infectious pathogens.
Passive Immunity - Answer Occurs when a person receives an antibody produced in another
body. Passive immunization provides immediate but short-term, temporary protection against
antigens.Infants acquire passive immunity naturally in utero from the mother; this immunity can
provide 6-12 months of protection for the infant.
Infants acquire passive immunity naturally through breast milk; this immunity can also provide
6-12 months of protection for the infant.
Passive immunity can be acquired artificially when antibodies are transferred via injection of an
antibody-rich serum in the form of immunization.
Who is at risk? - Answer (because they have decreased immunity)?
, 1. Age—old & young
2. Chronic illness: COPD, diabetes
3. Specific diseases (HIV) AIDS destroys T Cells
4. Drugs (chemo)
Acute inflammation - Answer Is the immediate response to tissue injury and is short in
duration (minutes to days) with the majority of activity taking place in the first 12 to 24 hours.
Can be classified as localized or systemic. Role is to eradicate the harmful stimuli from the body
and to initiate repair. Examples: Flu, Hives, Bursitis, Sprain,
Chronic inflammation - Answer Inflammation that lasts weeks to years after the initial injury.
Tissue is repeatedly being destroyed and repaired, thus impairing the healing. May also be
localized or systemic. Examples: Rheumatoid arthritis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), cirrhosis,
IBS.
Mechanical Injury - Answer an injury to any portion of the body from a blow, crush, cut, or
penetrating wound. Ex; crushed or cut off fingers by machinery or tools
Thermal injury - Answer when energy is transferred from a heat source to the body causing an
increase in the temperature of local tissue. Examples are burns from hot surfaces, hot liquid or
flames.
Electrical injury - Answer Examples can include Cardiac arrhythmias due to the electrical effect
on the heart. Muscle, nerve, and tissue destruction from a current passing through the body.
Thermal burns from contact with the electrical source. Falling or injury after contact with
electricity
Chemical injury - Answer Chemical burns can be caused by many substances, such as strong
acids, drain cleaners (lye), paint thinner and gasoline.
Example: Acid burns, and alkali burns.
Radiation injury - Answer damage to tissues caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.- ex;
Radiation burns from therapy to treat cancer.
Biological Assault - Answer Source could be bacteria, viruses, biotoxins. Release of these
agents can be in the form of aerosols / Inhaled agents, causing respiratory inflammation. Other
forms could be ingested in foods, causing inflammation and impairment of the GI tract and its
components. Also consider living carriers such as humans, animals, or insects which transmit
pathogens through a number of routes such as inhalation, contact, surfaces, etc.
