NURS 5315 UTA Exam 2



The best fluid to order in a patient with sickle cell disease who is experiencing an acute
vaso-occlusive crisis is a _________________ solution
Hypotonic

Malignant transformation of lymphocytes to Reed Sternberg cells occurs in
_________________________________
Hodgkin's lymphoma

An adult patient with sickle cell anemia is at the greatest risk for which type of infection?
Pneumoccoccal

________ is released in acute inflammation and _________ is released later in the
inflammatory process.
IL-4; IL-3

Describes the adherence of white blood cells to the vascular wall and their crossing
over to the site of injury
Diapedesis

Hemolytic anemia of the newborn results from a _____________ immune response
mounted by the _________
Secondary; mother

anamnestic response
Upon second encounter with same pathogen immune system mounts a faster and more
intense response

systemic lupus erythematosus
Antibody nucleic acid immune complexes are deposited throughout the body and trigger
an immune response.

humoral immunity
specific immunity produced by B cells that produce antibodies that circulate in body
fluids

cell mediated immunity
type of immunity produced by T cells that attack infected or abnormal body cells

Which type of immunity is responsible for organ transplantation rejection?
Cell Mediated

, active acquired immunity
a form of long-term, acquired immunity that protects the body against a new infection as
the result of antibodies that develop naturally after an initial infection or artificially after a
vaccination

passive acquired immunity
a form of immunity where the fetus receives antibodies made by the mother through
breast milk or through placental transfer.

self antigens
any molecule or chemical group of an organism which acts as an antigen in inducing
antibody formation in another organism but to which the healthy immune system of the
parent organism is tolerant

Allergen
a substance that produces an allergic reaction in an individual

IgA
Prevents microorganisms from attaching to mucous membranes

IgM
Antibody produced early in the primary immune response. High level = recent infection

IgG
Most abundant antibody, primary antibody of secondary immune response, long lasting
immunity, levels are elevated LATER in an infection

IgG
The only antibody that crosses the placenta

IgE
Antibody involved in response to parasitic infections and hypersensitivity reactions

T cytotoxic cells
CD8+ or TC cells
Target cells are self carrying endogenous antigens
Activated into cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)
CTLs recognize Ag + MHC I
Induce apoptosis in target cell
CTL releases perforin and granzymes

NK cells
Cells responsible for immune surveillance

T regulatory cells
Cells that regulate the immune response to avoid attacking "self"
