Exam 1
S&S caused by T-to-B fluid shift
What is dehydration
Swelling, heat, erythema (redness),& pain. (SHEP)
What are Signs of Inflammation
Is a clot that develops on the wall of a vein
What id DVT
Plaque-like material called
senile plaques.
What is dementia
Neck stiffness, also known as nuchal ridigity. Positive Brudzinski’s and /or Kernig’s signs
What is meningitis
when blood osmolality is high (usually because of water loss)and/or when fluid volume in the circulation is low due to blood loss and /or BP is low
What is RAAS system
Cause capillaries in the area to swell up but at the same time sort of “relax”(this is called vasodilation). The capillary becomes more permeable, then “leaks”plasma from the blood vessel into the tissue.
What are HLPs
Usually manifests as problems of ischemia due to narrowed, peripheral arteries; specifically, the S&S are in the legs.
What is PAD(Peripheral Arterial Disease)
Basal ganglia dysfunction disease caused by unknown source,
What is Parkinsons DZ
Occurs when there is a known or suspected infection AND the person has SIRS
What is Sepsis
Since the blood has changed to a lower osmolality than the next door tissue compartment, which way will water will be PULLED (“called”)?
What is Blood to Tissue
Occurs when a normal systemic inflammatory response goes into overdrive – the normal “braking” system of the inflammatory process does not occur
What is SIRS
Localized dilatation or outpouching of arterial vessel wall
What is an aneuryism
Person’s own T-cells attack a myelin protein in brain neurons
What is Multiple Sclerosis
T-cells destroy insulin-producing cells. Without insulin, glucose accumulates in blood + noenergy source for cell
What is Type 1 Diabetes
oxygen deprivation to cells (hypoxia) due to decrease in arterial circulation
What is ischemia
Autoantibody stimulates thyroid gland cells to
oversecrete thyroid hormone (TH), causing S&Ss of
hyperthyroidism
What is Grave's Disease
Specific substance only released by injured and dyingmyocardial cells-- (the higher the serum titer, the more extensive the damage)
What is troponin
Prodrome (S&S before the headache, may include an aura=perception of a strange light, an unpleasant smell or confusing thoughts)
What is Migraine
The drug vancomycin is now one of the few drugs that will destroy
What is MRSA
Integumentary (skin): risk for the development of pressure ulcers (ischemia) and/or skin breakdown
What is immobility
Elevated CRP—non-specific inflammatory test more specific— positive ANA
What is Lupus
Acute infection of the lower respiratory tract caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites overview
What is pnuemonia
Sudden, explosive, disorderly charge of neurons—sudden, transient alteration in brain function
What is seizures
Usually indicates worsening or change in existingcoronary plaques that leads to worsening of ischemia
What is Unstable Angina
