3. prodromal: initial manifestations
4. acute illness: manifestations of a specific disease; severe
5. period of decline: symptoms subside, feeling better
6. period of covalence: returns to a balanced state of health,

(mucus, skin, acidity)
10. innate immunity: activated immediately after breach of barrier;
swelling, redness
11. disinfection: cleans objects but not all organisms are eradicated;
side tables, computer equipment, blood pressure cuffs
12. sterile fields: created to ensure theres little to no micro organisms
present to prevent harm
13. AIIR: airborne infection isolation room; preferred for airborne

30. protective isolation: technique used for client protection who are
immunocompromised, own equipment and tools, wear mask when
with client to prevent potential infections
31. specific immunity: the protective mechanisms that provide
specific protection against certain types of bacteria or toxins
32. non-specific immunity: defenses that stop the invasion of
pathogens; phagocytes eat and destroy those cells
33. vital signs: measurements of the body's most basic functions
includes temperature, pulse , respiration, and blood pressure
34. needle-stick precautions: always keep sharp bin below 3/4 full to
