Immune: HIV/AIDS drug cocktail classes(5)
1) nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitase
2) nonnucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
3) protease inhibitors
4) fusion inhibitors
5) integrase inhibitors
-all only work if consistent, so only fo compliance
-all common SE is neuropathy and pancreatitis
Nucleotide reverse transcriptase
1) Retrovir-previously AZT, SE flu like, bone pain, it suppresses immune system even more
2) DDI
3) DDC
4) D4T
Nonnucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
converts RNA to DNA, stops enzyme, these can cause SJS, N/V and liver and psych problems
1) Rescriptor
2) Viramune
Protease inhibitors
protease splices chains and releases them, inhibits that, SE n/v, diarrhea, flu like sx, paresthesia
Fusion inhibitors
Fuzeon: work when HIV tries to inject cell, so stops process, causes allergy type rxn and fatigue
integrase inhibitors
Raltegravir: new drug, integrase needed to push RNA to cell after infusion
Opportunistic infections
infections others may be exposed to but will never get it b/c of healthy immune systems, should cancer pts get these? no, not common, these infxns are also a dx tool besides cd4 for AIDS not just HIV
Opportunistic infx-pneumocystis pneumonia
dx with bronchoscopy and sputum, pneumonia so those s/sx: sob, nonproductive cough, wt loss, night sweats, fatigue, fever, may treat prophylactically w/ Bactrum-also w/ UTIs, SE are glucose control issues hypo and HYPER can cause diabetes
**the most common opportunistic infx in hiv/aids pts
two types of pneumocystis pneumonia
carinii and jiroveci
jiroveci is the one they think is causing pneumocystis now
opportunistic infx-tb
hiv/aids high risk, ppd then chest xray in normal, checked q6months, but may not have enough immunity for + ppd so only 5 ml, treat prophylactically w/ rifampin and INH rifampin nasty SE to liver and turn orange - pressure isolation, sputum sample
opportunistic infx-candida
white cheesey lesions, tx with Nistatin-can cause heartburn, also in cancer pts
-Gluconezol-thrombocytopenia causes decreased bone marrow and wipe out platelents, doesn't work enough and get it down GI tract, anfotenison beta cause cardiac arythmias and toxic to kidneys
opportunistic infx- mycobacterium avium complex
MAC- in tb family, acid fast bacillus, but it is not contagious, won't see unless CD4 really low less than 50, sx night sweats, fever, dramatic wt loss, prophylactic tx w/ biaxin and ethambutol, rifampin or cipro:
mac affects GI tract so some get tpn,
Amicasin-ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity SE another prophylactic drug
opportunistic infx-Kaposi's sarcoma
a cancer of skin us. but can affect any organ, r/t a herpes strain, begins w/ purple lesions will have s/sx of the organ affected
tx-cancer so radiation and chemo, SE of gi tract, alopecia, bone marrow suppression
opportunistic infx AIDS dimentia (encephalopathy)
change in motor, cognitive function, this and parkinson's- handwriting changes, causes- aids virus affects brain cells, cns lymphoma toxoplasmosis, cryptococus, need to rule out other diseases of the brain i.e. meningitis, and treat the cause of it, some go crazy, tx depends on cause
Nursing care AIDS- assessment
look at person as whole, aids affects it all, head to toe assessment
aids interventions- education
education-prevention
reduce sex risks- abstinence and monogamous relationships, alternatives to penetration, latex condoms only
-reduce drug risks- don't do drugs at least don't use iv or share needles, needle exchange
-reduce perinatal risks- no bf, reproductive options
-reduce work risks- only protective covered needles, if needle stick report it
aids interventions- general
physical health-good health practices w/ hiv not aids, marinol has thc, aids-stabilize
aids interventions- economics
-body image
-relationships
-spiritual
-other issues
exprensive, drugs 20k/yr
-look bad, kaposis, wt loss
-not gay men having sex, but relationships
-anticipatory grieving, pts know they're terminal, promote coping
-others- noncompliance, euthenasia, homophobia, end of life, resource allocation, ethics
STI-general
r/t sexual activity, not necessarily penetration, many can be cured if caught early gonorrhea, chlam, syphilis
STI-reportable disesases
chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea
chlamydia most common sti
sti- bacterial vaginosis
not really sti, overgrowth of bact, fishy odor, tx- good hygeine, no tight pants, no pantyhose in summer, wear cotton panties grannie, limit sex partners, abst and monogamy,
sti- trichomoniasis
protozoan, common
sx- thin frothy yellow/green discharge, maloderous and irritating, untx-> pelvic infl disease, cancer, infertility tx with flagyl (se heartburn), have partners treated or will go back and forth
sti- chlamydia
most commonly reported, curable, transm sexually but could be in eye f/ not washing hands, mom-> baby in delivery, dx w cultures, asymptomatic often sometimes discharge, low back/abd pain, sex pain, vague sx, untreated-> PID, infertility, sepsis, death
sti- gonorrhea
2nd most common disease, "the clap", dx with smea culture, aslso asymptomatic or discharge, both tx w/ antibiotics, trickier b/c some drugs vs strains
sti- general herpes
herpex complex 1- oral sores
herpes complex 2- genitals
-can switch back and forth tho w/ oral sex, genetalia then lesions/vescicles then crust over, may think its jock itch,

outbreaks- stress, fatigue, menstrual, sunburns, women shed it more

****Zovirax anti-viral drug, cream q4h for 5 days at outbreak, or liquid po

-w/ lesions wear loose clothes and keep dry
sti- syphilis
spirochete and curable, dx w/ blood test
sti- syphilis stages name
1) primary
2) lecondary
3) latent
4) tertiary
sti- syphilis primary

sti- syphilis secondary
3 weeks->6 months
red rashes on palms and feet soles, flu like sx, lesions contagious
sti- syphilis latent
immune system kicks in, less spirochetes/infx
sti- syphilis tertiary
end stage, brain damage, heart and lungs damaged, can lead to death
sti- syphilis tx
penicilin gold standard
syphilis nursing care- assessment
number of partners, when started, protection, hx of stds, drugs, what they're doing, ask about discharge, pain, hygeine
sti- syphilis nursing care intervention
educate- safe sex, abstinence, being faithful, lower number of partners
prevent infx-if see something weird on privates don't touch the person, don't douche it pushes up to pelvic cavity
find out who they have been w/ b/c everyone needs tx, report to health dpt, don't have sex while actively infx
Immune Hypersensitivity- general
immune system carried away, overreacting to allergin, over rx to response
immune hypersensitivity- type I
Type I- Anaphylactoid
a) anaphylaxis
b) atopic
immune hypersensitivity- type I Anaphylactoid a) anaphylaxis
mediated by imunoglobin E, ingest something 1st time nothing happens but cellularly it does, mast cells and basophils bind so next time rx and attack it, smooth muscle contract vasodilation, hypotension, itching, incr mucus, impending doom, full throat, edema in face and neck, chest tight, wheezing, itching, tingly,

if untx- anxiety, airway der, feel hot then go into shock, hypotensive, cyanotic, death

tx-epi, at hospital benadryl, could be steroids, tagamet histamine blocker, most critical thing-airway, anaphylactic-allergy bracelet at all times,
*******ALLERGY BRACELET MOST CRITICAL
immune hypersensitivity- type I Anaphylactoid b) atopic
b) atopic- environmental allergins, contact dermititis, seasonal, can have anaphylactic but not common, runny nose..tx with claritin, zyrtic, etc. avoid allergins but not always possible
immune hypersensitivity- 4 types
I) anaphylactoid
a) anaphylaxis
b) atopic
II) cytotoxic
III) immune complex
IV) delayed
immune hypersensitivity- type II
cytotoxic- immunoglobin G or M, best ex is hemolytic transfusion rx, good pasture syndrome= antibody antigen rx affects lung and kidneys
immune hypersensitivity- type III
Immune Complex
-antibody antigen complex, instead of eating complex puts in tissue --> lupus, RA, etc. body says it's not supposed to be there so fights it, so glomerular attacked --> renal failure, tx- what has been affected
immune hypersensitivity- type IV
Delayed
happens 24-72h after exposure, tb testing, poison oak, smallbox, some transplant rxns
immune hypersensitivity- auto immune problems
involves T or B cells, don't know what causes it, women more autoimmune rxns, more intense rxns to infx can fight it better but over-react to own selves, hormones
autoimmune disease- general
over 70 autoimmune diseases- Hashimotis thyroiditis, lupus, RA, MS, scleroderma, etc.

75% women

close to equator less MS
autoimmune disease- microchiumerism
cells of 2 ppl (mom and baby) in same person, immediately after birth fetal cells still in mom, fetal cells close enough to mom so confuses immune system, attacks cells
autoimmune disease- molecular mimicry
some nasty viruses (flu, herpes) look like a myelin cell or some nml cell so body confused
autoimmune disease- systematic lupus erythematosus- what is it
autoimmune disease, chronic multisystem inflam disease, period of remission and exascerbation, mild/mod/severe sx, cause-dk, genes, hormones, race (white ppl less at risk)
autoimmune disease- lupus etiology
exascerbation triggered by stress, pregnancy, UV, light/sun, focus on systemic type, (also discoid and drug induced)
autoimmune disease- lupus patho
antibodies vs nuclear antigens, likes cytoplasm and blood cells, makes immune complex and puts in connective tissue --> type 3 immune response, body attacks it
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations dermatologic
redness, rash, butterfly rash across face, alopecia patchy will grow back
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations musculo
aches and pains, arthritis
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations cardiopulmonary
increased risk atherosclorosis and pericarditis, pneumonitis and pleural effusion, all inflam responses
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations renal
high risk for lupus nephritis and glomerular nephritis, leading cause of death is kidneys, monitor BUN and creatine
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations CNS
psych, seizures, stroke 3rd leading cause of death so clotting problems
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations hematologic
2nd leading cause is infx, 90% have anemia, leukopenia (infx), thrombocytopenia, clotting problems
autoimmune disease- lupus clinical manifestations GI
pancreatitis, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, fever
autoimmune disease- lupus dx
4/11 criteria
autoimmune disease- lupus what labs will we see?
RBC low, WBC low unless actively fighting infx, platelets 40% low, + ANA or antinuclear antibodies (not unique to lupus tho)
autoimmune disease- lupus tx
meds- steroids suppress immune system, NSAIDS, immunosuppressent agents, antimilarial

prevent- stress mgt

educate- stay out of sun, reduce stress, if slight fever call dx b/c risk for infx

other- body image, support groups if pt on dialysis i&o, kidney function, daily wts
autoimmune disease- systemic sclerosis aka scleroderma- what is it
disorder of connective tissue, fibrotic degenerative, skin thickens and tightens, too much fibrous connective tissue, localized or systemic, dk cause, environmental toxins cilia produced and deposited, too much deposited, feels tight
autoimmune disease- scleroderma s/sx- calinosis and raynauds
calinosis-abnormal Ca salt deposits in skin
Raynauds-vasopasmin fingers/toes, low blood flow r/t cold, bright blue then red color as warm, wear gloves when get something out of fridge
autoimmune disease- scleroderma s/sx- esoph
can't get food f/ esophagus to stomach, collagen and connective tissue so thick
autoimmune disease- scleroderma s/sx- sclerodactyly
fingers looked folded over, permanently flexed b/c thick skin
autoimmune disease- scleroderma s/sx- talang
capillaries permanently dilated see on skin, hands/face sm capillaries, see swelling in hands and around organs
autoimmune disease- scleroderma dx
autoantibody test SCL 70 but us dx by sx, nursing dx body image impaired mobility
autoimmune disease- scleroderma tx
steroids for immune system, D Penicilimine (not peniccilin) high solubility of collagen, SE- blood and liver
Minocyclene-helps reduce sx of thickening of collagen
main tx ************ is maintaining ADLs, skin thick and tight, PT/OT helps, treat sx, Raynauds no fingerstick b/c impaired circulation
autoimmune disease- fibromyalgia and sleep
********fibromyalgia often have sleep problems 80%- sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome
hematological system what is it
blood and blood forming tissue, purpose is to carry oxygen, nutrition, get rid of co2, also carries electrons, hormones, enzymes
hematological system hematopoiesis
how a cell becomes a mature cell, pluripotent --> either RBC, platelet, macrophage, eosinophil, basophil
hematological system anemia
is defined as a qualitative or quantitative deficiency of hemoglobin, a molecule found inside red blood cells (RBCs). Since hemoglobin normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. Since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Anemia is caused by the lack of iron in the body as well.
hematological system anemia 3 categories name
1) loss of RBCs
2) decreased production of RBCs
3) increased destruction of RBCs
hematological system anemia- category 1 loss of RBCs
acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss

bleeding-either out of the body or internally, int-abd distention, bruising, also anemia-pallor, cold intolerance
hematological system anemia- category 2
decreased production of RBCs- chronic, nutritional issues-iron, B12, folic acid, most common anemia type, not enough iron for hmgb synthesis, RBC small and not bright enough (hematocrit), lose 1 mg iron thru GI tract, sweat, urine daily, excessive blood destruction is hemolysis
hematological system anemia category 3
increased destruction of RBCs, or deficient red blood cell production (ineffective hematopoiesis).
hematological system anemia general
most common hemat problem, usually caused by other things
hematological system anemia clinical manifestations
tissues not enough oxygen so pump more, winded pulse high, palpitations, CHF heart overworks and fluid backs up

skin-pallor, jaundice if rbcs broken up too much, fingernails rigid/concaved, skin cool b/c vital organs want o2

mouth- red smooth tongue glossitis inflam, iron def is red beefy tongue, cracks in mouth chelitis

GI- enlarged spleen and maybe liver

musculo- fatigue and w/ vit b12 and folic acid --> weaker, vit b12 get numbness and and tingly (paresthesia) if too long may have memory/confusion
hematological system anemia nursing care plans
increase ADLS, lower fatigue, incr nutrition, maintain tissue perfusion, blood transfusion dep on underlying problems/ iron, b12, folic acid fixable easily, hemorrage-transfusion, for the others monitor cbc b/c can develop antibodies against anemia drugs

***********2 questions on blood transfusion
hematological system anemia category 2 causes
-iron deficiency
-vit b12 deficiency
-folic acid deficiency
-aplastic anemia
hematological system anemia cat 2 low iron intervention
give iron supplement- diet and supplement

diet-red meat, esp liver, mussle, eggs, dried fruit, legumes, dark leafy veggies (except spinach-Ca impedes), fortified breads, eat with citrus type things OJ and grapefruit juice

oral supplement- 3-4 doses daily, little elemental iron f/ foods, ******give on empty stomach, but can cause nausea so maybe a little food, GI upset, turn stool dark black (worry about GI bleed) kids-liquid back of throat b/c will stain

Parenteral- IM or IV nasty on tissue, IM-very deep, Z track and air lock to inject air so don't come back out, inject w/ diff needle then you draw w/
IV-test dose to make sure no rx, dark brown color, IVP or IVPB, given solo and slow 1 mL/min and flush good with NS, protect IV site so don't infiltrate
hematological system anemia cat 2 from low vit b12 causes
nutrition (strict vegetarians)
GI related removal of stomach
intrinsic factor in stomach lining needed to absorb vit b12, some pts not enough intrinsic factor
pernicious anemia- r/t intrinsic factor, whether gastrectomy or not enough
