Main clinical manifestations of OA:

Distinct characteristics of rheumatic diseases

VRE is usually found in urine.

Rheumatoid factor is present in all patients with RA.

Primary mediator causing erythema, heat, and edema

Invading or attacking organism that is responsible for stimulating antibody production

Second-generation antihistamines cause drowsiness and dry mouth.

Allergic reaction characterized by laryngeal edema, hypotension, and bronchospasm

Gout is caused by:

Inappropriate response of the immune system to normally harmless substances

WBC count less than 4000

When a person is first infected with HIV, they cannot transmit the virus for 6 months.

The classic s/s of RA include:

A wheal-and-flare is an indication of a positive antigen skin test.

Most common form of inflammatory arthritis

MRSA only exists in hospitals.

Respiratory disease of AIDS that causes diffuse dry rales

Opioids are avoided in RA due to the chronic nature of the pain.

Characterized by brownish pink to deep purple cutaneous lesions

Corticosteroids are only used in more severe allergy cases that can't be controlled by conventional medications.

Morning joint stiffness of OA lasts:

Immunity from contracting the disease

Drug of choice to treat gout

In RA, ______ attack the synovial tissue, causing inflammation and thickening.

Commonly the earliest manifestation of SLE

Medications used to treat early RA include:

Immune response of transplant rejection

HIV targets:

Risk factors for HIV include:

Self-care education in RA aids in developing strategies to maintain:

The goal of antihistamine therapy is to cure hypersensitivity.

Handwashing with soap and water should be done after contact with a patient who has Clostridium difficile.

Humoral immune response causes B cells to divide and differentiate into plasma cells

Wheezing is indicative of airway edema.

Immunoglobulin of allergy

Food cooked and stored at appropriate temperatures can lead to a decrease in Campylobacter infections.

Biologic DMARDS target a certain cell within the immune system to treat specific conditions.

Antigens are usually harmless substances that the body attacks due to allergy

A WBC count greater than 10,000n is called leukocytosis

Medication of choice in an anaphylactic reaction

Secondary mediator that initiates the inflammatory response

Shigella is easily transmitted from person to person.

Children who are unable to develop normal immune responses most likely have:

Immune response of anaphylaxis and hay fever

Medication that may prevent the formation of tophi

If a substance causes redness and itching, it should be discontinued immediately.

Biologic DMARDs are usually used in patients who are not responsive to conventional treatment (early RA).

Inflammatory degenerative disorder of the joints, not autoimmine

Ice application helps relieve pain, stiffness, and muscle spasm.

Chronic pain syndrome that is neurogenic in nature

Basic defense functions of the immune system

Initial symptoms of HIV infection are:

Phagocytes include:

Desensitization is a controlled, gradual release of mediators.

Immune response of viral, fungal, and parasitic infections

Hallmark of rheumatic diseases

Patients taking pregabalin and duloxetine should not drink alcohol due to decrease in the action of the medications.

Cells that recognize antigens and stimulate the rest of the immune system

Sudden appearance of edematous pink or red wheals of variable size and pruritis

Most common symptom of rheumatic disease

Edema of eyelids, cheeks, tongue, and possibly airway, possibly caused by an ACE inhibitor

Most common neurologic complication of AIDS that may be a side effect of ART

Medications used to treat SLE include:

Medications used for advanced, unremitting RA:

DMARDs are used in the treatment of OA.

Contact with a substance causing an allergic response

RA typically begins in the small joints of the hands, wrists, and feet.

Cells that attack the antigen directly

Blood and the immune system share a common origin in:

Most severe type of hypersensitivity

Copious serous nasal discharge and congestion are signs of:

Body's protective response to a foreign agent or organism

Chronic allergic skin condition, characterized by pruritus and excessive dryness

Most common early manifestation of gout:

Central IV lines should be kept in place for the entire hospitalization to keep the patient from being stuck.

Organs most frequently affected by SLE include:

Prognosis for SLE is favorable if the disease is detected before organ involvement.

Most familiar manifestation of RA

Portal of entry for infectious diarrhea.

Criteria for classification of RA is based on:

Skin rash associated with medications that may lead to a fatal anaphylactic event

Age at which someone can begin to receive PrEP
