NURS 3366 - Module Three & Four
Assignment
1. A man presents to an ER with a large laceration sustained at a
construction site 3 days before. The area around the laceration is
erythematous, painful, and swollen. The erythema and swelling can
be explained at a cellular level by all the following EXCEPT:
a) Mast cell degranulation and release of histamine.
b) Pro-inflammatory prostaglandins released.
c)Increased vasomotor tone (vasoconstriction) of the capillaries in the
area.
d) Local reaction to acute phase reactants.: c) Increased vasomotor tone
(vasoconstriction) of the capillaries in the area.
2. A man presents to an ER with a large laceration sustained at a
construction site 3 days before. He is given a TIG (tetanus
immunoglobulin) injection. He doesn't remember ever having a
tetanus vaccination. The purpose of the TIG is to:
a) Prevent any tetanus bacteria from activating the inflammatory
system.
b) Introduce tetanus bacteria so that the immunocyte system can
create anti- bodies to tetanus.
c)Give the patient natural active acquired immunity.
d) Provide tetanus antibodies to fight any tetanus bacteria that
might be present.: d) Provide tetanus antibodies to fight any tetanus bacteria that
might be present.
3. A man presents
to an ER with a large laceration sustained at a construction site 3
days before. He is given a TIG (tetanus immunoglobulin) injection.
He doesn't remember ever having a tetanus vaccination. The patient
(should or should not) also get a tetanus vaccination, because .
a) Should: he needs protection against future tetanus exposure.
b) Should: the vaccination will provide additional passive immunity.
c)Should not: the TIG is enough, as it will provide long term active
