2025/2026
Terms in this set (96)
bradykinins: prolong vasodilation and histamine release
complement proteins: destroy cell membranes
and trigger cascade for inflammation, vascular
permeability, and phagocytosis
cytokines: primary means of
immune system communication
Chemical mediators of histamine: cause allergic-
inflammation reaction symptoms
leukotrienes: mediate leukocyte aggregation
nitric oxide: relaxes smooth
muscles to cause vasodilation
platelet activating factor:
cause platelet aggregation
Viral
infections
Chronic
infections
Chronic low-level irritants (talc, silica, asbestos;

more likely for prisoners and low- income
patients)
Causes of chronic
Persistent injury
inflammation
Autoimmune diseases (ex. Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic
lupus erythematosus)

AM
Fever or currently ill
< 6 months of age
Egg allergy or allergy to
other vaccine ingredient
Flu vaccine: History of GBS
contraindications For the live attenuated vaccine,
immunocompromised patients should not get
the vaccine, also children on aspirin or
salicylate-containing products, pregnancy, 50+
or under 2 years old
Always complete full course of antibiotic even
after you start feeling better to prevent
antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic patient Administer on an empty stomach and wait 30
education minutes before taking other oral medications
Take each dose on time as prescribed to maintain
therapeutic blood levels
Helper T cells (CD4) initiate humoral and cell-
mediated immune responses by releasing
cytokines
Cell-mediated immunity Regulatory T cells control immune response and
components are involved in self-nonself recognition

AM
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8) monitor activity of all
cells and kill cells threatening integrity of the
body
Function of lymph nodes Carry lymph, clear-yellow fluid that carries
WBCs, drains and transports debris and
organisms for removal from the body
erythromycin inhibits the metabolism of
antihistamines, theophylline, carbamazepine,
Erythromycin: drug-drug warfarin, and digoxin
interactions
Verapamil, diltiazem, HIV protease inhibitors,
antifungal medications, and nefazodone
inhibit the metabolism of erythromycin
Amoxicillin: mechanism of inhibits cell wall synthesis
action
Amoxicillin: drug class beta-lactam antibacterial
Crushing, constricting substernal chest pain
with radiation to left arm, neck, jaw Pain can
be described as pressure in female
patients
Not relieved by NTG or rest
GI distress, nausea/vomiting, indigestion from
increased sympathetic nervous system
Myocardial infarction: activation
clinical
manifestations
Fatigue and weakness in
arms and legs Shortness
