The Spread of Infection An elderly pt, admitted with a GI disorder, is on
bedrest and requires assistance with ADLs. Frequent uncontrolled diarrhea stools; the nurse
provided excellent care to maintain cleanliness & comfort.
After one episode of cleaning the pt & changing the bed linen, the nurse went over to a second pt to adjust foley cath tubing.
The nurse’s hands were not washed before assisting the second patient.

Breaking the Chain A patient assigned for morning care has
an open wound on her left lower leg. The wound is draining & when last
cultured, the organism MRSA was identified.
What steps would you take to break the chain of infection while changing the patients bed.

Immune Response recognize foreign substances
neutralize, eliminate, or metabolize them with or without injury to the body's own tissues.
![Page 35: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Functions of the Immune System
Defense: protection against antigens
Homeostasis: removal of worn out or damaged components (e.g., dead cells)
Surveillance: ability to perceive or destroy mutated cells or nonself cells.
![Page 36: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Alterations in Immune Functioning
Immune Function: Defense
Hypofunction: Immunosuppression with increased susceptibility to infection (neutropenia, AIDS, immunosuppression
Hyperfunction: Inappropriate and abnormal response to external antigens; an allergy
![Page 37: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Alterations in Immune Functioning
Immune function: Homeostasis
Hypofunction: No known effect
Hyperfunction: Abnormal response where antibodies react against normal tissues and cells; an autoimmune disease
![Page 38: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Alterations in Immune Functioning
Immune function: Surveillance
Hypofunction: Inability of the immune system to perceive and respond to mutated cells, suspected mechanism in cancer
Hyperfunction: No known effect
![Page 39: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Immune Response: Inflammation
Reaction of the tissues of the body to injury in order to destroy or dilute an injurious agent
prevent the spread of injury
promote repair of damaged tissue
![Page 40: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Inflammatory Response: Cause
Physical irritants (e.g., trauma or a foreign body)
Chemical irritants (e.g., strong acids or alkalis)
Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria and viruses)
![Page 41: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

thediseases to which the mother is immune.

Allergies Allergic disorders are the result of a
hypersensitivity (excessive reaction to a stimulus) of the immune system to allergens (a type of antigen commonly found in the environment).
![Page 62: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Allergies A pt has allergic rhinitis. If the pt does not remain compliant with
the treatment regime, the patient is at risk for developing an infection
Such as Sinusitis
![Page 64: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Anaphylaxis A systemic reaction to allergens and the
most serious type of allergic reaction.
Foods, drugs, hormones, insect bites, blood, and vaccines are all associated with anaphylactic reactions.
![Page 65: Decreased Immune Response Infection Immunity](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c0f3f74a7959ff248b45ff/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Anaphylactic Reaction A patient is being given PCN via IVPB. Develops an anaphylactic reaction What would you do first? What symptom may the pt be
experiencing? What is the medication of choice for
anaphylaxis?

Transfusion Reactions Any client receiving blood products that
are homologous or from a donor may develop a transfusion reaction.
Five types: febrile nonhemolytic; allergic urticarial; delayed hemolytic; acute hemolytic; and anaphylactic.

Transplant Rejection Even with the use of immunosuppressive
medications, 10% to 15% of transplanted organs fail.

Latex Allergy Since 1987, when universal precautions
(now called Standard Precautions) were mandated, exposure to latex by health care workers has dramatically increased.
By June, 1996, 28 latex-related deaths had been reported to the FDA.

Latex in our lives A combination of
exposures to proteins found in latex products and certain foods may be the cause of a rise in latex allergies

Components of Immune Response
Located throughout the body
Organs include thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, appendix, Peyer's patches of small intestine.

Components of Immune Response
Main cell types are WBCs (especially lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages)
all originate from the same stem cell in bone marrow, then differentiate into separate types

Components of Immune Response
Granulocytes Eosinophils: increase with allergies and
parasites
Basophils: contain histamine and increase with allergy and anaphylaxis
Neutrophils: involved in phagocytosis

Components of Immune Response
Monocytes (macrophages) (e.g., histiocytes, Kupffer cells): involved in phagocytosis
Lymphocytes (T cells and B cells): involved
in cellular and humoral immunity

Immune System Response
Infection WBCs released from bone marrow into
blood
Bone marrow increases production of additional leukocytes

Leukocytes (WBC)
4,500 to 10,000 cell per cubic millimeter Transports themselves to site of
inflammatory or immune response Detect, attack, & destroy anything foriegn Locates damaged tissue & infection by
responding to chemicals released by other leukocytes & damaged tissue

autoimmune disease affecting multiple body organs.
T cells attack the skin, kidneys, and other organs
Characterized by periods of remission and exacerbation.
