MSN 610-MODULE 2 -LYMPH NODES
serum sickness - ANSWERS-immune complex disease
p- type 3 systemic hypersensitivity rx in response to antigens, mediated by tissue
deposits of circulating immune complexes a patient can react similarly to
repeated exposure to stimuli.
s- enlarged lymph nodes, pain puritas and erythematous swlling at the injection
site, uticaria, rahses, joint pain, fever and facial edema
meds- beta lactam antibiotics, sulfonamides and minocycline, organ transplant
o- becomes apparent 7 to 10 days after administration, hives, periodic lesions
lymphodemapathy. most prominent in the area of draining facial and academes
symptoms.
latex allergy Iv - ANSWERS-p- t cell mediated delayed response, allergic contract
dermatitis that invovles immune system and is caused by chemical use in the latex
product
s- exposure to latex products rash at are aof contact
o- skin rx begins 58hrs to 72 hrs after contact, vesicles lesions, oozing blister.
latex allergry I - ANSWERS-p-immunoglobulin E
s- exposure to latex,allergy to cross sensitivity foods (banana, avocados, potatoes
tomatoes kiwis)
, o-local- hives, systemic generalized hives with angioedema asthma eyes no itchy
and nose itching gastrointestinal system anaphylaxis
Head and neck lymph exam - ANSWERS-lightly palpate the entire neck for nodes,
anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid
muscle is the diving line for the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck; the
muscle and bones of the neck create "triangles"
bending patient head forward and to the side will ease taut tissues and allow
better accessibility to palpation.
-occipital->postauricular located superficially over the mastoid-preauricular just in
front of the ar- parotid and retropharyngeal at the angle of mandible -
submandivular halfway between the angle and the tip of the mandible-
submental in the midline behind the tip of mandible
axillae exam - ANSWERS-let soft tissue roll between finger
support the patients forearms with you contralateral arm and bring the palm to
you hand flat into the axilla
rotate your fingertip and palm, feeling nodes; if palpable attemp to glide your
finger beneath the nodes
epitrochlear lymph nodes - ANSWERS-support the arm in one has as your explore
the elbow with the other grasp the patient wrist, palm facing up and your left
hand
elbow should be in a relaxed position at about 90 degrees.
