microorganism that is capable of producing a disease
What is a pathogen
100
common sources are other humans, the client's own microorganisms, plants, animals, or the general environment.
What is the reservoir.
100
involves immediate and _____________of microorganisms from person to person through touching, biting, kissing, or sexual intercourse.
What is direct transmission
100
Pain, redness, heat, impaired function, and swelling
What are the signs and symptoms of inflammation
200
4,500-11,000/mm^3
What is normal WBC count
200
freedom of disease causing microorganisms
What is asepsis
200
before the infection can establish itself in a host, the microorganisms must leave the reservoir.
What is the portal of exit
200
vehicle-borne or vector-borne
What is indirect transmission
200
Fluid that has escaped from the blood vessels, dead phagocytic cells, and dead tissue and the products that they release. Includes purulent, sanguineous, serous, and sero-sanguineous.
What is the production of exudate.
300
men 13.5-18g/dl
women 12-16g/dl
What is normal hemoglobin level
300
fragments of cytoplasm that function in blood coagulation
What are platelets
300
before a person can become infected, microorganisms must enter the body.
What is portal of entry
300
any substance that acts as an intermediate means to transport and introduce an infectious agent into a susceptible host through a suitable portal of entry.
What is vehicle-borne transmission
300
Response that causes blood vessels at the site of injury to momentarily constrict followed by rapid dilation of small blood vessels. Occurs as a result of histamine released by the injured tissues. Signs of inflammation - redness and heat - are present during this stage.
What is the vascular response.
400
men 40-54%
women 36-46%
What is normal hematocrit level
400
main intracellular protein of erythrocytes. It is the iron containing protein in red blood cells that transport O2 through the body
What is hemoglobin
400
any person who is at risk for infection.
What is a susceptible host.
400
an animal or flying or crawling insect that serves as an intermediate means of transporting the infectious agent.
What is vector-borne transmission
400
In the early stages of this phase the tissue is called granulation tissue. Later collagen fibers contract and form a scar.
What is the reparative or healing phase.
500
men 4.6-6 million/mm^3
women 4-5 million/mm^3
What is normal RBC count
500
measures the percentage of RBC's in the total blood volume.
What is hematocrit
500
after a microorganism leaves its source or reservoir, it requires a _____________ to reach another person or host.
What is mode of transmision
500
infectious agent is transmitted by air currents to a suitable portal of entry, usually the respiratory tract of another person.
What is droplet/airborne transmission
500
Fluid, proteins, and leukocytes leak into the interstitial spaces, and the signs of inflammation - swelling and pain - appear. Pain is caused by accumulating fluid on nerve endings and the irritating chemical mediators.
