Cards

Term
Anaphylactoid ( antigen)
Definition
body has a negative reactions to a antigen, immune system response
Term
Atomic number
Definition
number of protons in the nucleus
Term
Bronchospasm
Definition
involuntary constriction of the bronchial tubes, immune system reactions
Term
Contraindications
Definition
factors of a pt's hx or present status that indicate that a medical procedure should not be performed or that a medication should not be given
Term
Creatinine
Definition
nitrogen containing waste products of metabolism excreted by the kidneys filtration system. High blood plasma levels indicate poor filtration by the kidneys
Term
Extravasation
Definition
-leakage from a vessel into the tissue
Term
Flocculation
Definition
formation of flaky masses or coming out of a suspension (separations from a solution) like stirring up a solution some things rise to the top other things might be heavy and go to the bottom
Term
Ion
Definition
atom or molecule having a negative charge ( anion) or positive charge (cation)
Term
Molecule
Definition
stable groups of boned atmoms having specific chemical properties
Term
Osmolality
Definition
measurement of the number of particles (molecules, ions or cations) that can crow out water molecules in a measured mass (kg) of water. Osmolality controls the distribution and movement of water between body compartments
Term
Osmosis
Definition
Movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane such as blood vessels walls and cell membranes
Term
Shock
Definition
inadequate blood flow with in the body with resulting loss of oxygen and there fore energy
Term
Solution
Definition
uniform mixture of two or more substances, molecules do not react to each other
Term
Suspension
Definition
nonuniform mixture of two or more substances that cluster together
Term
Differiniate between High and Low subject contrast
Definition
Higher atomic number, more x-ray photons, so higher contrast, higher density

Lower the lower the contrast area so more low density
Term
Purpose of contrast media
Definition
Ability to visualized detailed areas of interest.
Term
How are diagnostic agents instilled in the body?
Definition
Injected into vascular system or instilled in to body orifices
Term
Differentiate between high and low contrast
Definition
High- higher the atomic number, radioopaque.
Term
Differentiate between high and low contrast
Definition
Low atomic number, radioluscent
Term
3 types of radioopaque contrast medias
Definition
Organic,
Ionic
Barium Sulfate
Term
What would be be defined as a low atomic number with contrast medias
Definition
air
soda water
gas producing crystals
Term
3 categories of positive contrast media
Definition
Organic
Ionic
Barium
Term
Water soluable contrast media is used specifically for what type of studies
Definition
renal, systography, CV, arthrograms and myleograms
Term
Barium sulfate-contrast media is used specifically for what type of studies
Definition
Man made inert compounds used for GI studies.
Term
Oil based contrast media is used specifically for what type of studies
Definition
fat soluable - used for bronchography, dacrycystography,sialography, the lymphatic system and occasionally hysterosalpingograms
Term
Gadolinium, Iron Mangenese compounds are used specifically what type of contrast media?
Definition
metallic and magnetic intravenous media for MRI
Term
Ultrasound contrat agents?
Definition
gas filled micro bubbles that sound waves bounce off.
Term
How are Drugs are classified
Definition
by name
by action
legal name
Term
Drugs are classified legally as prescription or OTC
Definition
T
Term
Barium sulfate is a
Definition
suspension
Term
A drug taken by mouth and swallowed is taken via the___ route
Definition
oral
Term
A drug administered directly on the skin is administerd via the ____ route
Definition
topical
Term
What term means administerd by a route other than the GI tract?
Definition
parenteral
Term
What is not part of a syringe
Definition
Cannula
Parts are: plunger, barrel tip
Term
What is not part of a needle
Definition
tip, it is part of a syringe
Parts are hub, cannula and bevel
Term
A vial holds a single dose of a drug intended for use only once
Definition
False
Term
Most common used IV needle is a
Definition
butterfly
Term
Atendency of barium sulfate to clump and come out of suspension is termed
Definition
flocculation
Term
Three categories of positive contrast are
Definition
Organic (water soluable)
Inert (barium)
and Iodized oils (fat soluable)
Term
Water soluable is what type of contrast media
Definition
organic and ionic
Term
the atomic number for radiopaque
Definition
56 for Barium
53 for Iodine
Term
the atomic number for radiolucent
Definition
Low number
Term
Radiopaque is considered positive or negitive
Definition
Positive contrast ( think of bone) it is dense and will appear white on xray
Term
Radioluscent is considered positive or negative
Definition
Negative, it is air, gas, soda water and is black on xrays like the lungs. Easily penetreated by x-rays
Term
Attenuate means
Definition
to absorp
Term
Differentiate between low and high subject contrast
Definition
the higher the atomic number the more xray photons will be absorbed and the higher the contrast between the area with the media and the surrounding area
Term
Low density is
Definition
light
Term
High density is
Definition
dark
Term
Osmolarity
Definition
movement from a higher concentration to lower for equilibrium
