Subcutaneous immunotherapy: injection of titrated amounts of allergen extracts biweekly or weekly. Nursing management: never leave patient alone, if reaction occurs, remove patch( if they are using patch) and apply anti inflammatory cream, might need subq injection of epi, You cant do skin test on druggie patients, it suppresses the histamine response or have food Allergies Always give away from joint so you can apply a tourniquet for a sever reaction. Skin type: Scratch or prick: 5-10min Intradermal: 5-10 min Patch: 48-72 hours Usually on arms or back and you will see a flare and wheal response if positive
Chronic rejection
T-cell, antibody mediated vascular damage. Months to years after. Irreversible.
Airborne precautions:
TB, rubeola, measles, chicken pox- N95 or higher level respirators. small particles in the air
Impact of aging on immune system
Thymic shrinkage Decreased cell mediated immunity Decreased delayed hypersensitivity reactions Decreased IL1 and IL2 synthesis Decreased expression of IL2 receptors Decreased proliferative response of T and B cells Decreased primary and secondary antibody responses Increased autoantibodies
type 3 immune complex
Tissue damage in immune complex reactions occur secondary to antigen antibody complexes. Antigens combine with IgG and IgM to form complexes that are too small to be removed by mononuclear phagocyte system. They deposit in tissue or small blood vessels. Can be local or systemic and immediate or delayed. Manifestations depend on number of complexes and location in the body. Common deposit sites are kidney, skin, joints, blood vessels, and lungs. Severe type 3 reactions are associated with autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus, acute glomerulonephritis, and rheumatic arthritis.Fi

Progression:
last stage in the natural history of a cancer. This is characterized by increased growth rate of the tumor, increased invasiveness, and metastasis.
Pharmacogenomics:
looks at how drugs affect and interact with the genome and output expression. It allows for the identifications of variations in multiple genes that affect drug response. helping develop personalized medicine based on genetics (warfarin dosing - some are most sensitive/ less sensitive to it which was discovered through genetic testing)

not enough may not have bacteria may not be appropriate antibiotics lose potency over time
If they have Huntington's recommend
recommend genetic testing, maybe recommend not to have kids.
Promotion:
reversable proliferations of the altered cells. An increase in alter cell population further increases the likelihood for more mutations. The activity of the promotors are reversible. This includes dietary fat, obesity, cigarette smoking, and alcohol use. Changing ur lifestyle can help reduce the risk of cancer development.

risk, manifestations, what you do - know that surgery is an option ^ pain meds, anticholinergics, antispasmodics, we would cut down on fat they consume so maybe cut down fat soluble vitamins, bile salts, smaller more frequent meals low in fat high in fiber and calcium, how do you take care of them in acute care setting
