NURS 2080 Exam 2
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) - ANS collection of opportunistic infections and cancers
that occurs when the immune system is severely depressed by a decrease in the number of
functioning helper T cells; caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
hepatitis b - ANS virus that causes a serious to potentially fatal infection of the liver, transmitted by
body fluids
hepatitis c - ANS virus that causes a usually mild infection of the liver that can progress to chronic
inflammation with eventual need for liver transplantation
influenza a - ANS rna virus that invades tissues of the respiratory tract
interferon - ANS tissue hormone that is released in response to viral invasion; blocks viral replication
virus - ANS particle of dna or rna surrounded by a protein coat that survives by invading a cell to
alter its functioning
the common cold - ANS in assessing a patient, a viral cause might b suspected if the patient is
diagnosed with
inject themselves into human cells to survive and to reproduce - ANS viral infections are difficult to
treat because they
interferons - ANS naturally occurring substances that are released in the body in response to viral
invasion are called
leprosy - ANS herpes viruses cause a broad range of conditions but have not been identified as the
causative agent in
drink plenty of fluids to decrease the drug's toxic effects on the kidney's - ANS which of the following
is an important teaching point for the patient receiving an agent to treat herpes virus or cmv
,helper t cells - ANS hiv selectively enters which of the following cells
monitoring renal and hepatic function periodically during therapy - ANS nursing interventions for the
patient receiving antiviral drugs for the treatment of hiv probably would include
warts - ANS locally active antiviral agents can be used to treat
fungus - ANS a cellular organism with a hard cell wall that contains chitin and many polysaccharides,
as well as a cell membrane that contains ergosteroids
mycosis - ANS disease caused by a fungus
tinea - ANS fungus called ringworm that cause such infections as athlete's foot, jock itch
azoles` - ANS a group of drugs used to treat fungal infections
candida - ANS fungus that is normally found on mucous membranes; can cause yeast infections or
thrush of gastro tract and vagina in immunosuppressed patients' can cause serious systemic
infection that can affect multiple orgANS in the body
the composition of the fungal cell wall is highly rigid and protective - ANS how are fungal cells
different from bacterial cells
altering cell permeability of the fungus, leading to cell death` - ANS what is the mechanism of action
of systemic antifungal medications
loop diuretic` - ANS after assessing a patient, the nurse would question an order for amphotericin b
to prevent the possibility of serious nephrotoxicity if the patient was also receiving which of the
following
dermatophytes - ANS the nurse is describing fungi that cause infections of their skin and mucous
membranes, appropriately calling these which of the following
, rocky mountain spotted fever - ANS after teaching a group of students about topical fungal
infections, the instructor determines that the students need additional instruction when they
identify which of the following as an example
clotrimazole - ANS which of the following would the nurse recommend that a patient with repeated
vaginal yeast infections keep on hand
albumin level - ANS a nurse is infusing iv amphotericin b to a patient with a systemic fungal infection.
based on the adverse effects of the medication, which blood work would not need to be evaluated
"I should wear white socks and keep my feet clean and dry. I shouldn't; use the antifungal cream in
areas where I have open lesions - ANS a patient with a severe case of athletes foot is seen with
lesions between the toes; the lesions are oozing blood and serum. after teaching the patient, the
nurse determines that the instruction was effective when the patient states which of the following
analgesic - ANS compound with pain-blocking properties, capable of producing analgesia
anti-inflammatory agents - ANS drugs that block the effects of the inflammatory response
anti-pyretic - ANS fever blocking property; often achieved by direct effects on the thermoregulatory
center in the hypothalamus or by blockade of prostaglandin mediators
chrysotherapy - ANS treatment with gold salts in which gold is taken up by macrophages, when the
inhibit phagocytosis; it can be very toxic and is reserved for use in patients who are unresponsive to
conventional therapy
disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) - ANS class of medications that re designed to
treat inflammatory arthritis disease processes; they can also help to treat some connective tissues
disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and some cancers
reduces pain - ANS a drug could be classified as an analgesic if it
block swelling - ANS an anti-pyretic is a drug that can
