Frage 1
Frage
Anaphylaxis can be defined as:
Antworten
-
A systemic hypersensitivity reaction that can cause multi-organ failure and is often an emergency.
-
A severe Type I hypersensitivity reaction.
-
An immune response mediated almost exclusively by IgG and IgM.
-
The inability to breathe due to swollen airways.
Frage 2
Frage
Generally Type I hypersensitivity reactions require multiple exposures to an agent before occurring.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 3
Frage
Potentiation of mast cell degranulation is most often attributed to:
Antworten
-
Not removing the inciting agent.
-
Patient stress.
-
Histamine release.
-
Organ failure and an inability to compensate.
Frage 4
Frage
Clinical signs that accompany anaphylaxis may include: (select all that apply)
Antworten
-
Pruritis, wheals, or edema on the skin.
-
Bronchodilation.
-
Increased gastric motility.
-
Hypertension.
Frage 5
Frage
A localized anaphylactic reaction has the potential to progress to a systemic anaphylactic reaction.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 6
Frage
Which of the following is true?
Antworten
-
Dogs are more likely to present with dyspnea, collapse, and excessive mucous production as signs of anaphylaxis than are cats.
-
Cats are more likely present with dyspnea, collapse, and excessive mucous production as signs of anaphylaxis than are dogs.
-
Cats are more likely to present with cutaneous lesions as signs of anaphylaxis than are dogs.
-
More than one of these answer choices is correct.
Frage 7
Frage
Like anaphylactic reactions, anaphylactoid reactions require previous sensitization, but occur more frequently on the third or fourth exposure than on the second.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 8
Frage
The difference between localized and systemic anaphylaxis is:
Antworten
-
The immunoglobulins involved, as the skin creates a different type of immunoglobulin than does the blood.
-
Where the exposure occurred, for example a bee sting in the skin versus ingesting an allergen.
-
Localized anaphylaxis is characterized by histamine as a mediator of degranulation, whereas localized anaphylaxis relies on serotonin.
-
Localized anaphylaxis tends to be restricted to one location (often the skin), whereas systemic anaphylaxis involves 2 or more organ systems.
Frage 9
Frage
Why is epinephrine such a key player in the treatment of systemic anaphylaxis?
Antworten
-
It reduces mast cell degranulation.
-
It increases heart rate, and the subsequent increased movement of blood through the system pulls fluid from the interstitial spaces and reduces edema.
-
It promotes bronchoconstriction, allowing a patient to slow their breathing and take deeper breaths.
-
It induces peripheral vasodilation, allowing for better tissue perfusion.
Frage 10
Frage
Which of the following follows appropriate dosing protocol for epinephrine? Select all that apply.
Antworten
-
Continuous rate infusion at 0.05 mg/kg/min
-
Intratracheal dose at 0.02-0.04 mg/kg, diluted.
-
IV dose at ~0.05-0.1 mL/10 lbs
Frage 11
Frage
Dexmethasone:
Antworten
-
Is an antihistamine that can be given either orally (1 mg/lb) or IM (1-2 mg/kg).
-
Is an anti-inflammatory that can be given IV (0.1-0.2 mg/kg).
-
Is the name of a complex anaphylactic treatment protocol that involves extensive analgesics, sedatives, antihistamines, and fluids.
-
Is much better at addressing hypotension than is epinephrine.
