Natural Killer Cells
Both are formed in the red bone marrow, with T cells maturing in the Thymus and B cells maturing in the bone marrow.
T cells are formed in the thymus
B cells are formed in the thymus
B cells and T cells are both formed in the spleen
Helper T cells stimulate B cells
T cells attach to infected cells for transport to the kidneys in order to be excreted in urine
They alert WBCs of foreign objects
Helper T cells (CD4) stimulate Killer T cells (CD8) which are cytotoxic and lyse infected cells, malignant cells, or foreign tissue. Memory T cells remember for future invasion
Helper T cells stimulate B cells to divide and become specialized
Helper T cells lyse infected or foreign cells
Helper T cells attach to B cells to create a super cell
Helper T cells are not involved in humoral immunity
Advise the patient that they should begin to see symptoms within the next 2-3 weeks
Patient is started on antiretroviral agents
Western blot test is performed
None. A positive ELISA test is good news
Western Blot is positive only after confirmation using the ELISA test
At least one HIV antigen is present
HIV antibodies are present
The presence of two or more HIV antigens
Normal Saline
Lactated Ringers
Tubing with a filter
#18 or #20 gauge IV catheter
I will need to infuse the blood transfusion using a separate line
I will ask the doctor if he will approve it
That is a good idea since I won't have to stick you again
I will just wait to start the blood transfusion
Call the blood bank and order another unit of blood
Flush the line with NS and continue to infuse the remaining 20%
Discontinue the blood infusion, notify the blood bank and document the findings
Start another IV line and continue to infuse the remaining 20%
Hematocrit level
Urine output
Prothrombin time
Vital signs
Inform the patient that the blood has been checked against his blood type and continue with the infusion
Hold the transfusion and inform the Doctor of previous reaction
Administer corticosteroids prior to giving the infusion
Flush the IV line with NS prior to administering the infusion
Inform the RN, document the discrepancy, and continue with the transfusion
Advise the RN and leave her/him to administer the transfusion alone
Throw the blood bag out and request a new unit of blood from the blood bank
Notify the RN of the discrepancy and do not administer the blood. Inform the blood bank and return the blood to the bank
Check on your other patients while the transfusion is running
Remain with patient and take vital signs 15 minutes into the transfusion, observing for adverse reactions
Advise the CNA to remain with the patient and notify you of any observed changes
Administer O2 at 2Lvia nasal cannula to ensure that the patient's oxygen saturation levels remain stable
A normal reaction to receiving new blood
Hemolytic transfusion reaction
The blood is cold and needs to be warmed
