MRSA ✔✔Red, swollen, may look like a boil with pus. Also skin rash or sore. Transmitted usually skin to skin. Infection can spread to the lungs, causing pneumonia, or to the bloodstream.
MRSA ✔✔What disease requires a diagnosis with a rapid blood test (StaphSR assay) and can be treated by draining a skin sore and/or antibiotic therapy?
Malaria ✔✔Disease w/ symptoms such as fever, chills, sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, and other flu like symptoms.
Staph Infection ✔✔This disease that causes infection in wounds that can be reddend, swollen, and warm to the touch.
staph infection ✔✔This disease is diagnosed by collecting a tissue sample or nasal secretions for signs of drug resistant bacteria.
Draining the skin sore and/or antibiotic therapy ✔✔What is a common treatment for a staph infection? 1 / 4
active immunity ✔✔Immunity that occurs as a result of prior exposure to infections agents or its antigens. Can occur after having the disease.
passive immunity ✔✔immunity that occurs when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them. Can occur after receiving and immunization against a disease.
Malignant Tumors ✔✔Tumor that spreads to other cells, tissues, and other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system through a process called metastasis.
Benign Tumors ✔✔Tumor that remains localized but can vary in size from small to large. They have an excessive growth of cells but may grow slowly in early fatal.
metastasis ✔✔What is the process that involves the spread of a tumor or cancer in parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system?
Near Drowning ✔✔Symptoms of this event occurs when a person generally aspirate fluid or may have an obstructed airway caused by a spasm of the larynx one gas being underwater, resulting 2 / 4
in Hypoxemia (insufficient oxygenation of arterial blood). Other symptoms include cold or blue or skin, abdominal swelling, chest pain, cough, shortness or lack of breath, and vomiting.
Asphyxiation ✔✔lack of oxygen coupled with accumulating carbon dioxide in the blood.Symptoms include difficulty breathing, inability to breathe, development of bluish tent to the skin, irregular heart rate, weakness, and seizures. Long-term results can include a coma and death.
Allergies ✔✔What disease's natural body defense mechanism is for the immune system to produce IgE (Immunoglobin E) antibodies (chemicals designed to react to allergens) and trigger histamine?
Allergies ✔✔Treatments for this disease include: Antihistamine's, corticosteroids, Decongestants, Saline nasal rinses, and immunotherapy.
Closed Fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where there is a break in the bone w/ no external skin wound
- / 4
Open or compound fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where there is a break in the bone with an open wound leading down to the fracture site where were a piece of broken bone protruding through the skin.
Simple fracture ✔✔Type of fracture that is a break in the rib and is broken into two parts
Comminuted fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where the bone is broken or splintered into pieces
Impacted fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where the bone is broken with one end forced into the interior of the other
Incomplete partial fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where the fraction line does not include the whole bone (stress fracture)
Greenstick fracture ✔✔Type of fracture where the bone partially bent or split; occurs often with soft bones
Colles fracture ✔✔Type of fracture with break in the end of the radius in wrist; often occurs when the wrist is extended to break a fall
