Immune Lecture - NUR 172 Questions
With Complete Solutions
*adaptive* (Specific) immunity (IMMUNE SYSTEM)
*Third line of defense:* Correct Answers - lymphocytes
- antibodies
** t-cells
** b-cells
this is the memory key chain of our immune system
*Anaphylaxis:* Signs/Symptoms Correct Answers *cardio*
rapid, weak pulse, loss of consciousness, dysrhythmia, shock,
cardiac arrest, tachycardia, tachypnea, massive BP drop
*Respiratory distress* wheezing, hoarse, stridor in upper airway,
*other*
increased anxiety, itching, hives, swelling of eyes, lips, tongue,
larynx
*Anaphylaxis*: Nursing Interventions Correct Answers - Start
ER airway management =>intubate early to protect airway,
**possible bedside trach
- SQ or IV epi, or epi in an SVN
- Antihistamines (diphenhydramine)
- Corticosteroids (solumedrol)
- Provide O2
- Monitor BP to prevent shock
*innate* (nonspecific) immunity Correct Answers General,
non-specific protection to the body including:
- skin (barrier)
,- gastric acid
- phagocytes
- lysozyme
- complement.
3 types of autoimmune disorders: Correct Answers - Cytotoxic
(*Type II*)
