NUR215 Exam 2 pt. 1

Levels of Prevention: regular exams and screening tests to detect disease in its earliest stages

Transmission of Airborne Precautions

Chain of Infection- Infectious agent, Reservoir, Portal of Exit, portal of entry, susceptible host

Autonomy- support and defend

achieved when a person is given antibodies to a pathogen rather than producing them through own immune system

Transmission of Droplet Precaution is

T cells mature in bone marrow

Stages of Infection: Prodromal

BMI normal weight

achieved when a person receives serum from another person or animal

Levels of Prevention: Secondary

Protect against droplet larger than 5mcg and travel 3-6 feet away from client

which of these are expected findings of infection in an older adult

Levels of Prevention: immunization against infectious diseases.

is the infection that occurs in a patient

interval from the onset of general findings to more distinct findings; during this time, the pathogen multiplies.

Primary Local Infections are those that cause harm to a limited region of the body

offers long-lasting immunity or even life-time protection

interval when acute findings disappear, total recovery taking days to months

"soldiers" prevents organisms from entering the body

a frail client is infected with pneumonia. under the stress of the illness, client may develop herpes zoster

Nurse offers pain medication to postoperative client prior to ambulation. this aspect of care delivery is an example of?

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs order: Physiological, Safety & Security, Love and Belonging, and Esteem & Self-Esteem

the body's immune cells "learn" to recognize and destroy pathogens they have encountered

The First stage of the inflammatory response is considered a local infection

Levels of Prevention: Primary

interval between the pathogen entering the body and the presentation of the first finding

WBC lab values that indicate an infection

S/S of infection include: Redness, swelling, hot to touch, pain, increased WBC, fever

occurs when pathogens invade the blood or lymph and spread throughout the body

Stages of Infection: Decline

older adults have a reduced inflammatory and immune response, advanced infection can occur before identifies

portal of exit

lab values that indicate infection for elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)

Modes of transmission

Fidelity- fulfillment of promise

cells involved in specific immunity

interval when findings specific to the infection occurs.

ADPIE, Assessment, Diagnosis, Plan, Implementation, Evaluation

candidal vaginitis may develop in a client after frequent use of antibiotics

Stages of Infection: Convalescence

clients who could a be a susceptible host

a client has had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplant. which of the following infection-control actions

client decides not to have surgery due to blockage of arteries. The nurse understood. This is?

pathogens enters the the body, begin to release wastes and secretions and to cause breakdown of cells and tissues

the pathogen is acquired from the health care environment

Example of Airborne Precaution

Examples of Droplet Precautions

natural active immunity

Stages of Infection: Illness

leukocytosis, WBCs lab values about 10,000/uL

in the Third stage of the inflammatory response, micro-organisms are killed

infection, invasion of and multiplication in the body by a pathogen

Correct Sequence of putting on PPE

Protect against droplet infection smaller than 5mcg

Levels of Prevention: support groups that allow members to share strategies for living well.

bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood

immunity , through the presence of antibodies that neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-producing organism

what are the causative agents of infection
