Nursing Implications-?prevent secondary infection, prevent wasting syndrome from malnutrition, maintain or improve the present level of immune function, maintain adequate social functioning, and maintain or improve current mental status. HIVE-I and HIVE-2 are both retroviruses and have only RNA as their genetic material. When they replicate their genetic material is placed in the DNA of the host cell. Risk Factors-?contact with body fluids, sex… Etc.. Sentinel Infection-?opportunistic infections that indicate mispronunciation, appears as oral thrush, recurrent vaginal yeast infections, or skin disorders.
Gnarls/Plus Action-?Mononucleosis Reverse Transcripts Inhibitors act by binding to and disabling reverse transcripts, a protein that is needed for replication of HIVE. Protease Inhibitors work on the last stage of viral production cycle by preventing the virus from maturing and cause the release of immature viruses, which are then unable to infect other host cells. Needlessness Treatment-?notify infection control officer, 2-drug or 3-drug therapy must be taken for 4-6 weeks.
CDC Count-?A diagnosis of AIDS is usually made in a HIVE-infected patient with a CDC T- homophony count less than cells/LU or with a specific opportunistic infection being diagnosed. 2.

Artificial/Natural-?human ingloriousness they contain antibodies against many infectious diseases/immunity a person is born with. Acquired-?contraction of a disease and antibodies are formed from it or receiving a vaccination or immunization. Immune Globulin-?there are 5, they are Gig, Gig, IGMP, lag, leg. 14. Pituitary adenoma, benign-effects on insulin A benign pituitary adenoma antagonizes (acts against) the effect of the hormone insulin, resulting in an increase in blood glucose and glucose tolerance. 15.
Inflammatory response, C-Reactive Protein test C-Reactive Protein detects the presence of an inflammatory response, initiated by antigen-immune complex, interacts with the complement system of proteins (a series of proteins produced by the liver that work with antibodies to destroy antigens). 16. Testicular Self Exam (TTS)/Breast Self Exam-patient teaching TTS-?done when male gets out of the shower, uses finger and thumb, done same time once a month. BASE-?should be done monthly, about 1 week after menstruation begins or on a specific date each month after menopause. 7. Tetanus Booster-timing Tetanus booster every 10 years 18. Adrenal Medulla-epinephrine/morphogenesis secretion Adrenal Medulla secretes epinephrine and morphogenesis. Epinephrine prepares the body to meet stress or emergency situations and prevents hypoglycemia. Morphogenesis functions as a presser (causing blood vessel constriction) hormone to maintain blood pressure. 19. Adrenal Cortex (secretion of androgenic hormones) The adrenal cortex secretes lodestone (mortification’s), cortical sociolinguistics), Androgen’s, and estrogen.
ANDROGENIC HORMONES have similar effects to those of the male and female sex hormones. 20. Lodestone-function (conserves water) Lodestone is secreted from the adrenal cortex and it increases sodium reapportion and potassium secretion in the kidney tubules; it increases water retention(conservation). 21 . Cortices-cortical and inflammatory process, cortical and stress/aging Creditors is secreted from the adrenal cortex; Increases blood glucose levels; inhibits inflammation and immune response; Cortical is controlled by CATCH. 22.
Lymphoma-nursing implications Wrap the extremity with an elastic bandage, beginning at the distal portion and working up the extremity. Elevate the limb, TED hose, avoid constrictive clothing, do not cross legs, perform exercise of limb, avoid trauma to tissue, and cleanse and dry the skin and thoroughly and regularly. 23. Menstruation cycle-signs and symptoms, MS (when it occurs in the cycle), douching complications (vaginas) Mild cramping, some mood swings, Materialistic pains; MS occurs during the lateral phase of the menstrual cycle; No douching->changes the pH in the vagina and an lead to vaginas and other infections. 4. Oral contraceptives-advantages, patient teaching, complications They offer noncompetitive benefits, newer SOC reduce menstrual discomforts and decreases risk of contraceptive failure; Not 100% effective; antibiotics reduce effectiveness and teach opt to use other methods of contraceptives. Can cause an increased risk of blood clots. 25. Dishonored-patient teaching, support The most important management of dishonored is to promote an attitude of positive sexuality and selectors; use heating pads, back massage and soft rhythmic massage of the abdomen. 26.
Latinizing Hormone/Follicle Stimulating Hormone-function LA-?promote ovulation and progesterone production in females and testosterone production in males. FISH-?Follicle maturation and estrogen secretion in the female and in male cooperativeness. 27. Infertility-Primary/Secondary Primary infertility is the inability of the couple to conceive a child after at least 1 year of active, unprotected sexual relations without using contraceptives. Secondary infertility is the inability to conceive after having once conceived, or the inability to maintain a pregnancy long enough to deliver a viable infant. 28.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DTV)-treatment (IV streptomycin’s) IV Streptomycin’s-?CLOT BUSTER, high risk for bleeding, does not respond well tracheotomy may be done. 35. Parthenon-function Secreted from the parathyroid, also known as PATH, increases blood calcium by stimulating bone breakdown and the release of calcium. Increases calcium absorption in the GIG tract and decreases calcium loss in the urine. 36.
T-lymphocytes/B-lymphocytes-Function T-lymphocytes-cell mediated immunity, white blood cells; B-lymphocytes-humeral immunity, activating cell becomes an antibody producing plasma cells or a a-memory cell. 37.
