Q

What is the NP role in managing infection?

A

Primary prevention. Prevent it in the first place. Identify and respond to infection. Comanage chronic infection with a specialist. Otherwise, send to ID specialist.

25
Innate or acquired immunity? | B lymphocytes respond.
Acquired
26
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Reaches adult levels by age 7-8.
IgG
27
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Mimics IgA.
IgE
28
By adolescence, _____ starts to wane in size.
Thymus
29
Is the primary or secondary immune response more rapid?
Secondary
30
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Along with eosinophils, responds to allergy and parasitic infections.
IgE
31
B cells or T cells? | IgE
B cells
32
B cells or T cells? | From bone.
B cells
33
By middle age, thymus is at _____% of its initial size.
15%
34
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Present in all internal body fluids.
IgG
35
When is the lowest total Ig level?
3-4 months old
36
Innate or acquired immunity? | Natural immunity.
Innate
37
_____ cells become memory cells. In future, can mount specific IgG, IgA, or IgE response.
B cells
38
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Can't cross the placenta and is low in newborns?
IgM
39
When are stem cells seeded in the appendix?
11-12 weeks
40
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Production begins around week 2/13 days and reaches adult levels at age 6-7.
IgA
41
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Unclear significance.
IgD
42
Innate or acquired immunity? | Builds with age.
Acquired
43
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Remains after an infection has resolved.
IgG
44
T/F Younger people are more prone to autoimmune diseases.
False. Older people are b/c their immune system decreases, leading to infections being able to develop more easily.
45
_____ function (not absolute value) declines after middle age.
T cell
46
When are stem cells seeded in the thymus?
8 weeks
47
When are stem cells seeded in the spleen?
8 weeks
48
Innate or acquired immunity? | Phagocytic cells respond.
Innate
49
When does hematopoiesis begin in the fetal liver?
6 weeks
50
When are adult levels of IgM reached?
1 year old
51
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgD? | Some is received via breastmilk.
IgA
52
How do T cells differ in neonates?
T cells are present in high numbers and normal newborns can develop antigen-specific T-cell response.
53
T/F Neonates have impaired phagocytosis.
True. It's possible to have severe immunodeficiency without it being recognized.
54
When are stem cells seeded in the lymph nodes?
11-12 weeks
55
T/F Deficiencies in IG subclasses may exist even when total IG levels are normal.
True. Happens specifically with IgG and IgA.
56
When is IgM made?
During the primary immune response. Antigen is carried to the lymph node. Virgin B cells respond. If affinity for antigen is sufficient, B cell develops into antibody-producing plasma cell. At this point, IgM is made. CD40 glycoprotein acts with CD154 on T cells to proliferate B cells and synthesize IgM.
57
T/F Newborns cannot make specific antibodies until 3-4 months old, which is why breastfeeding is so important.
False. They can make specific antibodies at birth.
58
B cells or T cells? | From the thymus.
T cells
59
T/F Ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells differs in neonates compared to adults.
True
60
When are stem cells seeded in the clavicles?
8 weeks
61
Why do newborns require conjugated vaccines?
Newborns cannot mount an immune response to polysaccharide antigens until after 2 years of age. So polysaccharide vaccines are ineffective.
