NRSG 2350 Exam 1 questions with accurate answers
-emia Ans✓✓✓ blood
-itis Ans✓✓✓ inflammation
3 antibiotics to take an empty stomach Ans✓✓✓ tetracyclines,
fluoroquinolines, macrolides
4 types of allergic reactions Ans✓✓✓ anaphylactic reaction
-hives, rash, difficulty breathing, increased bp, dilated pupils,
diaphoresis, panic feeling, increased heart rate, respiratory arrest,
administer epi
cytotoxic reaction
-antibodies circulate in blood, attack the antigens or drug on cell site,
causes death of cell, my be seen over a few days, dc drug, support
patient to prevent infection and conserve energy
-serum sickness- rare
antibodies circulate in blood, cause damage to tissues by depositing in
blood vessels, may take 1 week or more, dc drug, provide comfort
measures to help pt. cope, amin antipyretic or anti inflammatory agents
as appropriate
delayed allergic reaction,
,-rash, hives, swollen joints, similar to poison ivy, dc drug, comfort
measures, antihistamine or topical corticosterioids
Absorption of drug Ans✓✓✓ what happens to a drug from the time it
enters the body until it enters circulating fluid (drug interactions can
occur at this point)
Acetaminophen (tylenol) Ans✓✓✓ analgesic, antipyretic
LACKS INFLAMMATORY EFFECT- DOES NOT CAUSE
BLEEDING
can cause hepatotoxicity
acquired active immunity Ans✓✓✓ Usually long-lasting immunity
Produced by the immune system in response to antigens
Antigens can be from natural infection or form vaccination Immune
system makes antibodies to help destroy antigens EXAMPLES: Hep A
virus (HAV)infection and subsequent recovery gives rise to an acquired
active immune response usually leading to lifelong protection Receive
chickenpox (Varicella) or MMR vaccine as a child and body makes
antibodies to this antigen
The benefit of vaccination is that active immunity occurs without
disease or disease complications
Acquired immunodeficiency Ans✓✓✓ Acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition
caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your
,immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight
infection and disease.
acquired resistance Ans✓✓✓ microorganisms that were once sensitive
to the drug have begun to develop acquired resistance
activates complement system Ans✓✓✓ IgG and IdM and IgE causes
anaphylaxis
active transport Ans✓✓✓ Movement of ions/ molecules across cell
membrane into area of higher concentration (endocytosis, phagocytosis,
receptor mediated active transport)
Acute inflammation- Cellular stage Ans✓✓✓ phagocytes (neutrophils)
migrate to injured area- destroy infective organisms- remove damaged
cells
Acute inflammation- Vascular stage Ans✓✓✓ vasodilation- increases
blood flow to injured area- REDNESS AND WARMTH
Adverse drug effects Ans✓✓✓ an unpleasant/ undesired or dangerous
effect caused by administration of a drug
allergen Ans✓✓✓ triggers: smoke, pollutants, perfumes, dust, mold,
cold exposure, animal dander (allergen combines with IgE)
, Allergic response Ans✓✓✓ skin rash, nausea, vomiting, difficulty
breathing, shock
Allergy Ans✓✓✓ abnormal hypersensitivity acquired by exposure to an
antigen
Aminoglycosides (Gentamicin (Garamycin), Neomycin) Ans✓✓✓
Actions: Bactericidal for G-
Indications: E Coli, staph, USE WHEN PENICILLIN
CONTRAINDICTED
Contraindications: renal/ hepatic disease, preexisting hearing loss,
pregnancy
Adverse: deafness, vestibular paralysis, sinusitis
Considerations: DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, test uterine function
frequently, can be given before culture sensitivity results can be obtained
AVOID: Potent diuretics, anesthetics
Amphotericin B (Other Antifungal Agent) Ans✓✓✓ Actions:
fungicidal and fungistatic
-emia Ans✓✓✓ blood
-itis Ans✓✓✓ inflammation
