Initial HIV infection symptomology
Flu-like symptoms: Fever and chills; Fatigue or extreme tiredness; Swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck, armpits, or groin; Sore throat; Headache; Muscle and joint aches
A severe allergic reaction
ANAPHYLAXIS
What type of microorganism causes hepatitis?
VIRUS
When bacteria adapt and become able to survive exposure to antibiotics that previously killed them.
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Impact of Air Quality on Chronic Disease
Significantly aggravates and causes chronic diseases by triggering systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. It directly exacerbates asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, and stroke, while increasing risks for lung cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions
Dark, purplish, or reddish patches on skin and mucous membranes. It is a type of cancer that occurs with a weakened immune system.
KAPOSI'S SARCOMA
Clients must be between the ages of___________ to receive the LIAV (live inactivated attenuated vaccine)
2 YEARS TO 49 YEARS OLD
The two types of hepatitis that are transmitted via the fecal-oral route
HEPATITIS A AND HEPATITIS E
A pocket of pus caused by infection,
ABSCESS, MRSA commonly causes skin abscesses.
Room Assignment for Client Who Has Scabies
Must be placed immediately on Contact Precautions in a PRIVATE ROOM, ideally with a dedicated bathroom, to prevent transmission.
A fungal infection that causes a thick, white layer on the tongue and in the mouth.
ORAL CANDIDIASIS OR THRUSH
Pregnancy and ______________ are also contraindications for the LIAV.
IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS
Small, vascular skin lesions common in patients with cirrhosis. They appear as central red dots with radiating arteriole vessels.
SPIDER ANGIOMA
MRSA infection can be better controlled in hospitals when they use________________ on patients prior to surgery.
CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE WIPES OR WASH
Protective Equipment used for an Unknown Hazard
For unknown hazards, the maximum protection, Level A PPE, is required until the contaminant is identified and deemed less hazardous. Level A includes a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), full-body vapor-protective suit, and chemical-resistant gloves and boots
Type of fever you would expect with a recently acquired HIV infection.
LOW GRADE FEVER
Most common two allergens found in flu vaccine.
GELATIN AND EGGS
Tiny, round, brown-purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin, can appear in people with cirrhosis due to thrombocytopenia.
PETECHIAE
MRSA acquired in hospitals or long‑term care facilities.
Healthcare‑Associated MRSA (HA‑MRSA)
Treatment following exposure to Anthrax
A 60-day course of antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin or Doxycycline. ( and a three-dose series of the anthrax vaccine. Early treatment is crucial, often supplemented with antitoxins for inhalation exposure, as Bacillus anthracis spores can persist in the body.)
Thick, white lesions on the tongue may look "hairy.
ORAL LEUKOPLAKIA
Before administering a seasonal inactive flu vaccine check for severe allergies to:
EGGS (flu vaccines made from egg protein)
A chronic autoimmune disease where the body's immune system destroys small bile ducts in the liver
BILIARY CIRRHOSIS
Determines which antibiotics are effective against a specific bacterium.
SENSITIVITY TESTING
How long after exposure to smallpox does a patient have to get vaccinated?
3 DAYS
