18

22
Q

Amoxicillin

23

24
Q

FEV1 % post bronchodilator to diagnose COPD

25
Two drug classes to treat COPD
Beta agonists and inhaled anticholinergics
26
Beta agonists
Short acting or long acting "LABA's and SABAS" think drugs that end in "terol"
27
Beta agonist mechanism of action
Stimulate beta receptors in heart and lungs, bronchodilation
28
Inhaled anticholinergics mechanism of action
Blocks acetylcholine in the brain, which is responsible for smooth muscle contraction, prevents bronchoconstriction, think drugs that end in "tropium"
29
Sequence of treating asthma
SABA, low dose ICS, LABA, refer for severe asthma
30
Positive TB skin test reading of 5 mm or greater
Those with HIV, immunocompromised, recent contract with TB, < age 5 with close TB contact
31
Positive TB skin test reading of 10 mm or greater
Recent immigrants within 5 years from high prevalence countries, child younger than 4 exposed to TB, IV drug use, homeless, healthcare worker, employees of high risk areas like jails and nursing homes
32
Positive TB skin test reading of 15 mm or greater
The rest of the population with no known risk factors
33
Recommended age for pneumonia vaccine
Age 65 or older
34
Sequence of pneumonia vaccination
Start with PCV13, then PPSV23 one year later
35
Does PCV13 need to be given again?
No
36
What should be done if patient is given PCV13 before age 65?
Do not repeat PCV13, give PPSV23 if patient has not received it in last 5 years
37
First line treatment for mild COPD
SABA or short-acting anticholinergic, start with SABA, then move to short-acting anticholinergic
38
Sequence of COPD medication treatment
SABA, short-acting anticholinergic, LABA or LAMA, combo meds, ICS, refer
39
Optimal treatment for latent TB
Isoniazid
