Q.2 a. Define immunity and explain types of immunity. 08 Define immunity and explain its types.
IMMUNITY :- Immunity is the chemical power present in the blood of every person which has different individual power to resist the infectious disease. Or
Immunity is the ability of an individual to resist infectious disease and infection.
There are two types of immunity in which . Innate immunity and acquired or adaptive immunity.
Classification of Immunity:-
A) Innate Immunity –
(a) Species Immunity
(b) Racial Immunity
(c) Familial Immunity
(d) Inborn Immunity
(e) Individual Immunity
(B) Acquired Immunity:-
(1) Active Immunity –
(A) Natural:-
Attack of Disease
Inoculation
(B) Artificial
Vaccine
Toxoide
(2) Passive Immunity:-
(A) Natural
Placental
Colostrum
(B) Artificial
Antiserum
Modified Toxin
Innate immunity:-
Innate Immunity means resistance to disease acquired from birth. which is received from parents. which provides lifetime protection.
A person has innate immunity based on his genetic and constitutional makeup. Because it is not stimulated by specific antigens, innate immunity is usually non-specific. It is different from acquired immunity and is also called natural immunity.
Active Immunity:-
The natural adaptive immune system is formed when a person is exposed to a live pathogen and provides a primary immune response when disease occurs.
Artificially acquired active immunity is given intentionally by antigen-containing substances known as vaccines.
The antigen present in the vaccine stimulates a primary response against the antigen even in the absence of any disease symptoms. Active immunity provides permanent immunity and the body is protected from disease for its entire life.
Active Immunity is produced when a person comes in contact with a pathogen.
The body then produces antibodies against that antigen.
In this way specific immunity is generated for a particular disease. E.g. Typhoid, chicken pox or measles
Immunity can be acquired either by infection with a pathogen or by vaccination. Active immunity may last a few weeks to a few months but may last a lifetime.
Passive Immunity:-
Artificially acquired passive immunity is a short-term immunity to diseases introduced into the body by direct injection of antibodies. And this is not produced by the recipient cell.
Naturally acquired passive immunity is the transfer of immunity from parent to child. During this pregnancy, the mother’s antibodies enter the baby’s bloodstream.
Due to this immunity, fits are protected from harmful substances.
Passive immunity is also provided to the fetus due to IgA antibodies present in breast milk. which protects them against intestinal bacterial infections.
Passive immunity is not permanent it is temporary.
Additional Information:-
ALTERED IMMUNE RESPONSE:-
When the body’s immune system recognizes the active foreign particle, it is called immunity. Hypersensitivity diseases such as allergies and auto-immune diseases occur when the immune system overreacts.
Hypersensitivity Reactions:-
Hypersensitivity reaction means that the body overreacts when a foreign antigen enters the body or cannot maintain self-tolerance so that the tissue is damaged.
Autoimmune disease begins when the body’s immune system reacts against its own antigens.
Classification:-
Type I, II, III are types of hypersensitivity antigen-antibody reactions. And this is the type of humoral immunity. Type IV is the type of delayed hypersensitivity.
And this is antigen-lymphocyte reaction and cell mediated response.
Type I – IgE Mediated Response:-
Type 1 is anaphylactic reaction (Hypersensitivity). This is seen in individuals who are sensitive to specific allergens:- Type 1 is seen in those who are highly sensitive to bee or wasp venom, drugs.
And the body produces IgE in response to the allergen, which is accompanied by mast cells and basophils
Hives and anaphylactic shock are common reactions.
Type II cytotoxic hypersensitivity:- Type II reaction is caused by an exogenous antigen. In this, the normal structure of the body that the body perceives as a foreign body is called cytotoxic hypersensitivity.
The reason for this may be cross reactions of antibody. As a result cell and tissue damage is seen.
In this the IgG or igM antibody wraps around the cell. As a result, an antigen antibody reaction occurs and destroys the cell to which the antibody is bound.
This type of reaction is seen in Myasthenia gravis, hemolytic anemia, Rh-hemolytic disease of newborn, thyroiditis.
Type III Immune Complex Mediated Hypersensitivity:- This type of reaction occurs when the antigen binds with the antibody and forms an immune complex.
This type of reaction is seen in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
4.Delayed Type (Type IV) Hypersensitivity:-
This hypersensitivity is also known as cellular hypersensitivity. This cellular hypersensitivity is seen 24 to 72 hours after exposure to the allergen.
Tooth :- Contact Dermatitis
Its symptoms include redness, itching, and thickening of the part exposed to the antigen.

Q .3 b. What is disease? Write about causes of disease. What is disease? Write the causes of disease.
Concept of disease :- (Concept of disease)
This is a medical term. In this, there is a change in the structure and function of the body and the capacity of the body decreases.
W.H.O has given the definition of health but not given the definition of disease because many spectrum of diseases are seen in diseases.
Any type of change in the body due to injury or infection in its normal structure or function is called a disease.
Cause of disease :-
Diseases are abnormal conditions. It is a medical condition with specific signs and symptoms.
This is usually due to external factors such as infectious diseases or due to internal dysfunction.
Mechanical Cause:-
In mechanical causes, body structure is damaged, and this is seen due to trauma and excessive temperature.
Biological Causes:-
Biological causes of disease affect the body functions which include genetic defect, infection, alteration of immune system, alteration of normal organ secretion.
Normative Cause:-
Normative causes are psychological in which body and mind interaction is involved. Physical manifestation is seen due to psychological disturbance.
Nutritional Causes:-
The main cause of disease
There is nutritional deficiency.
Environmental Causes:-
According to some researchers, many environmental factors are responsible for causing the disease. Like chemicals, dust, pollution,
Additional Information:-
Theory of disease causation :-
Germs theory of disease:-
According to the germs theory, disease is caused by the presence of different micro-organisms in the body and their action.
Disease agent —- Man——-disease
Epidemiological Triad :-
The traditional model of the causes of infectious diseases is called epidemiological triad. Epidemiological triad includes agent, host and environmental factors.
Agent:- Agent is the first step in the chain for spreading the disease.
Agent means any living or dead thing that causes disease whether it is present or not is called agent.
A. Biological agents- including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa
B. Nutrient agents include protein, fats, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals
C. Physical agents- which includes heat, cold, humidity, pressure, radiation, electricity, sound
E. Mechanical forces in mechanical agents like crushing, friction
Host :- The person who is sick is called the host.
Host factors have different characteristics.
A. Demographic characteristics like Age, Sex, Ethnicity are included
B. Biological characteristics include genetic makeup, immunity
C. Social characteristics include socioeconomic status, occupation
D. Lifestyle factors include fitness, nutritional habits, physical exercise, behavioral patterns.
Environment:- That means an environment in which any disease spreads.
In other words, the living and non-living things outside the person with which one is in constant contact.
Physical environment in which Air, water, soil, radiation Is included
Biological environment which includes microbial agents, animals, plants
Psychological environment which includes culture, customs, beliefs
Multi factorial causation :- Illness occurs due to many reasons.
Like coronary heart disease and cancer it is seen due to many reasons like
Consuming too much fat
smoking
Obesity
Do not exercise
Natural history of disease :-
Natural history is a description of how a disease “behaves” and what factors influence its spread. Disease occurs as a result of a complex interaction between the agent, the host (human) and the environment. The stage of a disease from its prepathogenesis (prior to the onset of the disease) phase to its termination, in the absence of treatment or prevention, until recovery, disability or death.
Q.3 C. Explain about Hemodialysis. Explain about hemodialysis.

In this the data is compared with the initial assessment Reassessment is done in this the present condition of the client is compared with the base line data taken earlier.
Component of assessment:-
Collecting data
Organizing data
Validating data
Recording data
1.Collecting data:-
The process of obtaining information about the client’s health status is called data collection. In which nursing health history, physical assessment,
Includes physical examination, laboratory results and diagnostic tests.
Data includes past history as well as present complaint.
Following points should be kept in mind while collecting data.
Data collection should be systematic and continuous so that errors in data can be prevented.
Data should not be based on actual or potential health problems.
Data should be descriptive, clear, concise, complete
Type of Data :-
There are two types of data.
Subjective data
Objective data
Subjective data:-
This is known as symptoms or covert data.
Subjective data is given by the patient himself.
In this data, the patient himself describes his previous experience, as well as filling, emotions in his own words.
Objective data :-
This is known as sign or overt data.
Objective data is taken by the health team like observation, physical examination, and measured through diagnostic test.
Source of data :-
Primary sources:-
In this, data is obtained directly from the patient in which physical examination and interview are used.
Secondary sources:-
In this, the data is obtained from the patient’s relatives as well as the patient’s medical records, charts and other members of the health team.
Method of Data Collection :-

should do
2.Nursing Diagnosis:-
Nursing diagnosis is the second step of the nursing process. which follows the nursing assessment.
In this phase, the collected data is analyzed from which the problem is identified and a nursing diagnosis is made. Based on this, nursing care is given.
The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA 1992) has defined Nursing Diagnosis as follows.
“The clinical judgment of an individual, family, or community’s actual or potential health problem. Nursing diagnosis provides information for the selection of nursing intervention to achieve that outcome.”
Let’s write the nursing diagnosis in written format “PES”.
says
P=Problemstatement/diagnostic label/definition
E = Etiology/related factors/causes
S=Defining
characteristics/signs and symptoms
PURPOSES OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS:-
A to analyze the collected data.
B. To identify the client’s normal functional level statement.
C. To identify the client’s strengths and weaknesses.
D. To make up for diagnostic weaknesses.
CHARACTERISTICS OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS:-
It clearly and concisely states the health problem
Information is drawn from existing evidence about the client
It is potentially useful in providing nursing therapy (care).
It is no base for planning nursing care as well as providing nursing care.
TYPES OF NURSING DIAGNOSIS :-
Actual Nursing Diagnosis:-
The problem that occurs during nursing assessment (Problem + Etiology + Signs/Symptoms) is called Actual Nursing Diagnosis. And this depends on the patient’s current signs and symptoms
Teeth :-
Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than body.
Secretions Acute Pain (Chest) related to coughs secondary to pneumonia
Activity intolerance related to general weakness.
High Risk Diagnosis :- This is also called potential problem. It has no signs or symptoms. This is a clinical judgment. But this does not present a problem but a risk factor.
D. T.:-
1) Risk for impaired skin integrity related to surgery. In this, there is a risk of bed sore in the patient due to long bed rest and not changing the position.
2) High risk for infection related to hospitalization immuno suppressed medication.
In this, the patient is at risk of infection due to immunosuppressant drugs.

Nursing diagnostic statement has three parts which are problem, etiology & defining characteristics.
(1) Problem:
It describes the patient’s response to which nursing care is provided. The nurse explains clearly and concisely the area of ​​the problem that has occurred.
Etiology is the component used to identify one or more health problems. Etiology guides the planning of nursing interventions. This helps the nurse to give personalized care to the patient because both patients have the same problem but the causes are different.
Tooth :- 1) Anxiety related to hospitalization
2) Anxiety related to diagnostic test
Problem:- Anxiety
Etiology:- Hospitalization, Diagnostic test.
(3) Defining characteristics:

Perform patient activities by yourself:- Bed bath, mouth care, vital check
Assist in patient activities
Teeth:- Do range of motion exercises.
Supervising the patient’s own activities.
Evaluation :– Evaluation is the fifth step of the nursing process. which follows the implementation.
In the evaluation phase, the nurse checks whether the nursing care plan has been effective or not and whether the goal has been achieved.
Evaluation is a continuous process in which the nurse assesses and reassesses the program to determine whether the patient’s goals have been achieved.
Purpose of Evaluation:-
To make judgments about obtaining data from nursing care provided
To check patient’s behavioral response to nursing intervention
To compare pre-determined criteria and current patient no response
To find out the flaws in the care plan
To check the quality of nursing care
Activity in Evaluation phase :-
To review patient objectives and criteria, outcomes
to get the data
To achieve the goal
To modify nursing care
Revise the patient’s intention and look at the outcome criteria.
