when all defenses work correctly and the body responds, a competent immune system
immunocompetence
the state of responsiveness to foreign substances is known as
immunity
a substance that elicits response to immune system is called
antigen
B lymphocotyes, antigens and antibody (immuglobulins) make up
humoral immunity (?)
T lymphocytes (aids, hiv, t-cell count) make up
Cell mediated Immunity
your PT is under -responsive due to infection, immunodefifciency diseases, malignancy - he is not normal, what can be the problem
incompetetent immune system
Your PT has a hypersensitivity disorder, what else is this called
Over-reaction
(hypersensitivity)
something that is developed in response to an antigen is known as
Acquired Immunity
what helps maintain homeostasis
Immunity
What kind of immunity is breastmilk, it only lasts for so long
passive immunity
allergies and auto immune diffencencies are examples of
Hypersensitivity reactions
what exists in a person without prior contact with an antigen - neutrocytes and monoctyes are the primary white blood cells involved
innate immunity
what resutls from the invasion of the body by foreign susbtances
active aquired immunity
the host recieves antibodies in response to an antigen
passive acquired immunity
a substance that elicits an immune response composed of proteins.
antigen
an anaphylactic reaction that occurs only in susceptible persons highly sensitized to specific allergens is considered what type
TYPE 1 - IGE- Mediated Reactions
What can occur when mediators are releasted systemetically (after injection of drug, or insect sting) reaction occurs within minutes and can be life threatening because of bronchial constriction. airway obstruction, vascular collapse
anaphylaxis
ALLERGIES )
smooth muscles contraction - narrow airways - leaking of fluid from blood vessels, vasodialation, decreased blood pressure and increased mucus production and itching - are symptoms of
IGE -Mediated Reactions
what kind of immunity occurs through injection with gamma globulin (Serum antibodies) - it is short lived bc the host did not make antibodies.
passive aquired immunity

ex) breastmilk
what kind of immununity occurs naturally from a disease or artifcually through innoculation
active aquired immunity
what antigens attach to mast cells and basophills to trigger mediators to attack target organs causing allergy symptoms
IGE - Mediated Rxns

type 1
What kind of reaction is a type I - Ige Mediated Reaction
Anaphylaxis
Atopic Rxns
what kind of rxn has an inherited tendency to become sensitive to environmental allergens

resulting in asthma, allergic rhnitis (hay fever) atopic dermatitis , uticaria (hives)
atopic reaction

20 percent of population is atopic
what occurs within minutes, quick systematic reaction. your PT highly sensitized to specific antigents. life threatening.
anaphlaxis
the direct binding of IgG or IGM to antigen on cell surface is called
Cytotoxic and Cytolytic Rxn
TYPE 2
A Classic type 2 rxn occurs when PT recievesABO-incompatible blood from donor
hemolytic transfusion rxn
what is the MSOT COMMON type 1 hypersensitivy reaction caused by airborne substances pollens dust molds .
allergic rhinitis or hay fever
disorder involving lungs and kidney - rapid progressive
goodpasture syndrome
what results in cell destruction, blood clots. activates immune system, target cells frequently involved include RBC, WBC-

this is a HEMOLYTIC TRANSFUSION RXN
Cytotoxic and Cytolytic Rxn
TYPE 2
Your PT has edema, itching, headche, feeling of doom, nause, ab pain, this could prgress to shock (tachycardia, weak pulse, hypotension, dyspnea)
whats wrong?
Anaphlaxis
Your PT has nasal discharge , sneezing, lacrimation, mucosal swelling with airway obstruction and pruritis around eyes nose and mouth - what is wrong with him
Allergic Rhinitis (hayfever)
antigen-antibody complexes too small to be removed by the immune system - coplexes deposit in tissues or small blood vessels - release toxic substances- result in infalammation and tissue ddestruction.

can be local/systemic, immediate or delayed
Type 3 - Immune Complex RXN
cell mediated rxn - 24-48 hours AFTER stimulation - contact dermatitis and microbial rxn is known as
Type 4 - Delayed Hypersensitivity RXN
The bodys self-defense reaction against Tuberculosis - the test is read 48-72 hours after given -

coudl lead to an extreme response where you lose layers of skin
microbial hypersensitivy rxn
Rx diagnosis for latex allergy response, impaired gas exchange and ineffective tissue perfusion fall under what category
altered immunose response
How do you treat your PT with an altered immune response deficiency?
Avoid allergens
Monitor Symptoms
Adninister Meds
Local Treatment
Latex precaution
what meds would you give your PT having an allergic rxn or altered immune response
antihistamines, decongestants, steroids, antipruritics
Your PT has a reaction associated with autoimmune disorders causing inflammation and destruction of tissue - site kidney , joint, bv, lungs.

what is wrong
PT has a type 3- immune complex rxn
what is also called a cell-mediated immune response
TYPE 4 - Delayed Hypersensitivity RXN
an example of a delayed hypersensitiy rxn involving the skin - rxn occurs when skin is exposed to substances that easily penetrate the skin to combine with epidermal proteins.
contact dermatitis
what is the MAIN difference between contact and atopic dermatitis?
contact dermititis is LOCALIZED and restricted to area exposed to allergens - atopic dermatitis is WIDESPREAD.
One function of cell mediated immunuty is
survelience for malignant cell changes
the reason newborns areprotected for the first 6 months of life from bacterial infections is because of the maternal transmission of
IgG
In a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction - the primary immunologic disorder appears to be
release of chemical mediators from IgE bound mast cells and basophils
you notice your PT has possible analphylactic shock after a IM penicillin by the development of
edema and itching at injection SITE.i
Can a nurse give allergy shot outside of healthcare facility
immonotherapy should only be administered in setting where emergency equiptment and drugs are available
association between HLA antigents and diseases is most commonly found in what disease condition
autoimmune disorders
plasmapheresis is used
to exchange plasma that contains antinuclear antibodies with a substitute fluid
the most common casuse of secondary immunodeficiences is
drugs
what describes rejection following transplantation?
HYPERACUTE REACTION - can usually be avoided if crossmatching is done prior to transplant.
what is the drug used for a acute rejection of transplanted organs?
Daclizumab
is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by secreted antibodies (as opposed to cell-mediated immunity which involves T lymphocytes) produced in the cells of the B lymphocyte lineage (B cell). Secreted antibodies bind to antigens on the surfaces of invading microbes (such as viruses or bacteria), which flags them for destruction.
Humoral Immune Response (HIR)
cell mediated immunity involves which type of lymphoctyes
T Lymphoctyes
rheumatoid artrhirtis
vs
osteoarthritis
rheumatoid is and inflammation in the joint that displace them....osteo is the a slowly progressive non-inflammatory disorder of the joints
