sight)
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Nausea
- Redness
4. DAR - Diabetic Annual Review: - Quality standard of care people with Type 2
diabetes
5. What is hypoxemia?: Low level of oxygen in blood
6. Whats vaccine temperature kept at? COLD CHAIN: 2 - 8degress
7. What stratergy helps childhood cancer?: The NZ Health Stratergy
8. What is Salbutamol: - A selective Beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist indicated for the
treatment &/or prevention of bronchospasm.
- Provides short-acting relief in asthma & COPD.
- Last 3-5 hours.
9. Primary function of RAAS?
(Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System): - 3 main hormones, Renin, An-
giotensin 1 & 2
- Regulates blood pressure and blood volume on a long term basis
- Fluid & electrolyte balance
- Systemic vascular resistance
10. What is specific gravity?: - measures amount of solubles dissolved in urine as
compared to water
- detects how well kidneys can concentrate urine
- NORMAL RANGE 1.005 - 1.030
11. Medication use in COPD?: - Bronchodilators = opens airways, improve airflow
- Corticosteroids = lowers/decreases inflammation
- Take together = Bronchodilator first, then corticosteroids 5mins later
12. What is hypoxia?: - low level of oxygen in your tissues
13. What is IMAC?: It is Immunisation Advisory Centre
14. Herd Immunity: When enough people or group achieve immunity to virus or
infectious agent. Makes it very difficult for inflection to spread.
15. What is a CBC/FBC?: - complete blood count
- full blood count

16. What is Central Cyanosis?: bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous mem-
branes due to hemoglobin carrying reduced amounts of oxygen
17. What is the Primary Health Care Strategy?: 5 Principles
- Accessibility
- Public participation
- Health promotion
- Appropriate skills & technology
- Intersectional cooperation
18. Why is ECG useful in diagnosis of Heart Failure?: Picks up abnormalities
19. What are the 2 conditions that sit under COPD?: 1. Emphysema - Damage
& enlarged
aveoli causing loss of lung elasticity traps air in lungs?
2. Chronic Bronchitis - Chronic mucous production
- low oxygen % of 88 & up is 'normal' within COPD
20. 3 main SOCIAL DETERMINANTS: - Travel
- Housing
- Lack of access
21. Main Mechanism of ACE Inhibitors: 1. STOPS Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II
- keeps blood vessels wide & decreases aldosterone
22. How does METFORMIN improve insulin sensitivity?: - Improves insulin sen-
sitivity and lowers blood sugar.
- Increases the ability of cells to uptake glucose, more blood leaves the blood and
enters cells
- Decreases amount glucose made by liver
23. Long term effects of corticosteroids?: - Hypertension
- Osteoporosis (decrease bone density)
- weight gain
- Glaucoma = eye condition
24. Primary benefits HERD IMMUNITY?: Protects immune compromised and
those unable to get the vaccination.
25. What are the two most important vaccines for people with chronic illness?-
: - Influenza
- Pneumococcal
26. Most common symptom of Left Sided Heart Failure?: Pulmonary Congestion
27. What is natural PASSIVE immunity?: Immunity to a pathogen that occurs
following exposure to pathogen.
28. What is natural INACTIVE immunity?: Protection from disease provided by
antibodies created outside of the individuals body.
