Inflammation - ANSWER Cellular response to injury,
permeability, emigration, acute vs chronic, nursing implications, cellular
healing,
Pain - ANSWER Pathophysiology of pain
Assessment and management:
· pharmacological and nonpharmacological
· barriers to management of pain
Types of pain
Factors influencing pain
Wounds - ANSWER Relationship with ischemia and O2 delivery, stages of wound
healing.
Angiogenesis - ANSWER the formation of new blood vessels
Antagonist - ANSWER a drug that blocks the response of another drug
Antiplatelet - ANSWER acting against or destroying platelets
Antipyretic - ANSWER drug that lowers body temperature
Bradykinin - ANSWER chemical released by cells during inflammation that
produces pain and side effects similar to those of histamine
Chemokines - ANSWER any group of low molecular weight cytokines; regulate
immune system by helping immune cells localize to areas of injury
Chemotaxis - ANSWER movement of cells according to chemical gradients that
attract them
Complement - ANSWER series of proteins involved in the non-specific defense of
the body that promote antigen destruction
Cox 1 enzyme - ANSWER key enzyme in prostaglandin metabolic pathway that is
blocked by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and other non steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs
C-reactive protein - ANSWER a plasma protein whose plasma concentrations
increase during inflammatory disorders
, Cytokines - ANSWER chemical produced by WBC that guide immune response
(ie. interleukins)

which compose the bulk of the dermis
Histamine - ANSWER chemical released by mast cells in response to antigen
that causes dilation of blood vessels, bronchoconstriction, tissue swelling,
itching
Inflammation - ANSWER non specific body defense that occurs in response to
injury or antigen
Kinins - ANSWER induce vasodilation and contraction of smooth muscle
Leukotriene - ANSWER chemical produced that accompanies inflammation
Maceration - ANSWER softening tissues by soaking them
Neuralgia - ANSWER support nerve cells
Neuropathy - ANSWER disease or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves,
typically causing numbness or weakness

(sharp, local) or visceral pain (generalized, dull)
Opioid - ANSWER substance obtained from the unripe seeds of a poppy
plant;natural or synthetic morphine like substance
Phagocytosis - ANSWER ingestion of pathogens by leukocytes
