NR-507 Study Guide
1. Types of immunity ch 7 & 8
a. Innate- natural epithelial barrier and inflammation the make innate resistance and
protection pg.
... [Show More] 191
b. Adaptive/ acquired- immune response or immunity, after innate and inflammation,
i. Active (Acquired) -after natural exposure to an antigen or after immunization pg.
227
ii. Passive (Acquired)- preformed antibodies or t lymphocytes are transferred rom a
donor to the recipient, maternal to fetus, or bone marrow transplant pg. 227
2. Alveolar ventilation/perfusion- pg. 1239 Ch 34
a. Ratio between the amount of air getting into the alveoli and the amount of blood being
sent to the lungs.
3. Dermatologic conditions ch. 46 e.g. pityriasis rosea- benign self-limiting inflammatory disorder
that occurs in young adults, with seasonal peaks spring and fall. Harmful in pregnancy.
Associated with a virus, starts with a herald patch, circular. Salmon pink, and demarcated, usually
on the trunk, acyclovir and erythromycin, and corticosteroid creams for itching. Should go away
within a few months.
4. Croup- pg. 1294-1296 Viral, barking cough, winter and spring months, usually affects children 6
mo to 3 yrs, peak at 2 years old, stridor, and fever, 2-5 days. human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs),
RSV, viruses are airborne. Rest, humidity, and lots of fluids. Acute laryngotracheobronchitis
5. Types of anemia pg. 982-1102 C. 28 reduction of the total number of erythrocytes in the
circulating blood or a decrease in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin
a. Macrocytic-normochromic anemia- large abnormally shaped erythrocytes but normal
hemoglobin concentrations (Pernicious- lack of B12, abnormal RNA and DNA synthesis
and early cell death, folate deficiency- lack of folate for erythropoiesis premature cell
death)
b. Microcytic-hypochromic anemia- Small abnormally shaped erythrocytes and reduced
hemoglobin concentration (Iron deficiency- lack of Fe for hemoglobin production,
insufficient hemo, sideroblastic- dysfunctional iron uptake by erythroblasts and defective
porphyrin and heme synthesis, thalassemia- impaired synthesis of alpha and beta chain
of hemoglobin, phagocytosis of abnormal erythroblasts in the marrow)
c. Normocytic-normochromic anemia- normal size, normal hemo concentration (aplasticinsufficient erythropoiesis, posthemorrhagic- blood lost, hemolytic- premature
destruction of mature erythrocytes in the circulation, sickle cell- abnormal hemo
synthesis, abnormal cell shape with damage, lysis and phagocytosis, anemia of chronic
disease- abnormal demand for new erythrocytes )
6. The inflammatory process upon injury pg. 195 Ch. 7- blood vessel dilation, increased vascular
permeability and leakage of fluid out of the vessel, WBC adherence to the inner walls of the
vessel and their migration through vessel walls to the site of injury. Figure 7-2
7. GI symptoms resulting in heart burn- pg. 1429 Ch 41. acid regurg chronic cough, asthma attacks,
and laryngitis. Upper abd pain, within 1 hr of eating, worse lying down, chest pain,
8. Pulmonary terminology - dyspnea- SOB, Orthopnea- postural SOB Ch 35 pg. 1248
9. Complications of gastric resection surgery-pg 1440 dumping syndrome, [Show Less]
