30
Physical Dependance | NO TREATMENT
A state of adaptation that is manifested by a drug class-specific withdrawal syndrome produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist
31
Addiction | TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE
A primary, chronic, neurobiological disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations
32
Drug Tolerance
A state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more effects of the drug over time
33
Placebos
a harmless pill, medicine, or procedure prescribed more for the psychological benefit to the patient than for any physiological effect.
34
serous

38
innate-native immunity
natural
39
active immunity
lasts for years | natural by infection, or artificial stimulation of the body's immune defenses *vaccine
40
passive immunity
short | accomplished by transplacental transfer from mother or artificial injection of antibodies
41
monocyte
Destruction of bacteria and cellular debris; matures into macrophage
42
b-lymphocyte
Becomes sensitized to foreign cells and proteins
43
plasma cell
Secretes immunoglobulins in response to the presence of a specific antigen
44
memory cell
Remains sensitized to a specific antigen and can secrete increased amounts of immunoglobulins specific to the antigen on re-exposure
45
helper t cell
Enhances immune activity through secretion of various factors, cytokines, and lymphokines
46
cytotoxic cell
Selectively attacks and destroys non-self cells, including virally infected cells, grafts, and transplanted organs
47
natural killer cell
Nonselectively attacks non-self cells, especially body cells that have undergone mutation and become malignant; also attacks grafts and transplanted organs
48
pathogen
microorganism capable of producing disease
49
communicable
infection transmitted from person to person
50
pathogenicity
ability to cause disease
51
virulence
degree of communicability
52
surveillance
tracking and reporting of infections
53

from patient flora (C.Diff)
54
exogenous infection
from the outside the patient, from tubes, implants, healthcare worker's hands (FLU)
55
