Colon cancer screen
immunization guidance
Types live vaccine- replicate in the host and generates the response that mimic
immunity caused by the illness
may not be able to be used in all patients
Inactivated vaccine: inactivated microbial agents or components that are made
through physical chemical and molecular means
Passive immunity is passed on in antibodies
IGG transfers is the synthesized version
(from mom to baby is passive
Short term protection from disease by administration of antibodies
Herd immunity- immune members prevent the spread of infection for susceptible
members.
Depends on how contagious the disease is, mode of transmission, interaction in
the community, and endemic vs epidemic disease
Small pox, measles, polio, and rubella have been eliminated in the US because of
immunization. MMR has resurged because of people hesitation to get vaccines
Dr.Wakefield is U.K. physician that published an article saying vaccines cause autism.
This is a myth.
Children 6-59 months are at risk for severe illnesses and complications
Barriers to vaccination
Product recall
Misinformation
Vaccine storage
Parental refusal
Vaccine hesitancy
Vaccines for children- almost every state provides vaccines for children. This is free in
most states. There are resources in the U.S. an in PA for those that are not insured.
Adverse reactions- acute emergency after vaccines are rare
Observe the pt for 15 minutes after vaccine
Common reactions
o
Redness achiness
Synscope- vasovagal reaction is common in adolexcents and young adult females
Anaphylaxis- sings and symptoms are flushing warmth urticaria erythema soft
tissue edema pruritis dry mouth swelling of lips, tongue, throat, sneezing,
congestion, stridor cough, dyspnea chest tightness wheezing and cyanosis
tachycardia hypotension dizziness shock cardiovascular collapse
o
Tx with epinephrine 0.01ml/kg
0.3 ml max dose for child
0.5max dose for adolescents
10 rules of vaccines
1)
Any vaccine can be given together except varicella and small pox! Mcv4 and
pcv13 can’t be given together in a functional or anatomically asplenic child
because it decrease response to pneumococcal
2)
Live vaccines can not be given together and should be 28 days apart
3)
Different inactivated vaccines can be given at any time
a.
Can have simultaneous administration to improve compliance
4)
Doses of the same vaccine must be separated by minimal intervals. Proper
spacing of doses given within
5)
Most vaccines have a minimum age except for hep b and rabies
6)
Do not restart a vaccine series if theres been a lapse in administration
7)
Similar vaccines made by different manufacturers are interchangeable
8)
No harm in vaccinating a person who has already had the disease or vaccine
9)
Defer MMR and Varicella after administration of antibody containing blood
products
10)
Live vaccines can not be used in households with pregnant or
immunocompromised person
Contraindications
Mild illness is NOT A CONTRAINDICATION
Immune deficient and pregnant people can not be
For vaccine hesistancy talk to them early, have a plan, be consistent, understand and
listen
Vaccine refusal
Discharging pt from the patient is not recommended
o
Request alternative schedule
o
See if they will agree to certain vaccines
o
See what your facility policy is
Managing pain
Infants: oral sucrose or breastfeeding during immunization
Children” breathing exercises, distraction, stroking, rocking, or blowing
Pharamoloical
o
Topical anethethics applied 30-60 minutes before injection
o
Oral analgesics before or after immunization
o
Tylenol has not been decided if you can give it before the vaccination or
after
Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus DTAP or TDAP
Children younger than 7 get DTAP
Children older than 7 and adults get TDAP
Diptheria can cause infection on the membranes of the upper respiratory or skin
and gives exotoxins causing paralysis of the palate and hypopharynx with effects
on the kidney heart and nervous system
o
Requires intimate contact with respiratory exotoxins excreted
Tetanus- creates a neuro toxin and transmitted by an open wound like a rusty nail.
Anything that is an open wound that can be dirty. Spreads to the blood stream and
lymphatic. Anytime you have an open wound GIVE THEM A BOOSTER
TETANUS. TDAP
o
Causes spasms and rigidity
o
If you have tetanus it is hard to treat
Pertussis excretes toxin that causes problems with the respiratory system
o
inspiratory whoop
o
post tussive emesis
o
rib fractures
o
carotic artery dissection
o
seizure pneumonia and encephalopathy
o
spreads respiratory secretions
ANY ONE PREGNANT GETS A TDAP
Haemoephilus Influenza Type B
Causes respiratory disease processes and MENINGITIS
o
Mengingitis
o
Otitis media
o
Periorbital cellulitis
Hepatitis A- least concerning hepatitis. Sourced from contaminated water and under
cooked food
Fecal oral spread
Causes diarrhea and high liver enzymes, jaundice
Does not manifest into chronic problem
Has two vaccines
Hepatitis B- has 3 vaccines. Virus affects the hepatocytes causing low grade chronic
hepatitis and hepatocellular cancer.
If mom has hepatitis b while pregnant give hep b shot and hep b immunoglobulins
All babies get hep b when they are born. Birth is bloody.
Phases
o
Prodromal- starting to get sick. Malaise, anorexia, nausa
o
Icteric- clay colored stools jaundize elevated liver enzymes
o
Convalescence phase- for months malaise and fatigue
Spread by contaminated blood, semen, vaginal secretion, saliva
Don’t give if allergy to baker’s yeast
Human papillomavirus- original vaccine protected against only 4
Gardasil 9 covers 9 different strains of HPV that cause precancer
Can do 2 doses before 14
If after 14 do 3 doses
Contraindications is allergy to bakers yeast and pregnancy
Virus must be present for cancer to develop
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella : rash that progresses to pneumonia
Measles- affects nasopharyngeal epithelium and spreads to lymph nodes
Immune suppression gives bacterial and viral infection
Spreads by respiratory droplets
KOPLIK SPOTS- white lesions with moist red background
Mumps- affects the nasopharyngeal epithelium and spreads to regional lymph nodes
Replicates leads to plasma viremia
Enlarged parotid glands, fever, malaise, uri, and rash
Spreads through respiratory droplet or direct contact with saliva
Salivary glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes affected
Rubella- infection in the nasopharyngeal epithelium and spread to lymph nodes to
respiratory tract, skin, body fluids, and in pregnant women the placenta
Causes vasculitis affecting organ development
Spreads via airborne droplet shed from respiratory tract
CONGENITAL RUBELLS SYNDROME
o
Birth defect deafness, cataracts, microopthalmia, cardiac defects, and cns
abnormalities

PPSV23- children 2-18 years at high risk for penomocccoal. 2 doses. Given to older
adults, immunosuppress
Polio- contagious and starts like a cold and causes paralysis of muscles and death
Spread by fecal oral route
Do not give IPV (inactivated polio vaccine) to those that are allergic to neomycin,
streptomycin, or polymyxin B

Regular is inactivated and high dose is several strains and the live flu
NP role and professionalism
CT Scan- Computed Tomography
Pros of availability speed and decreased cost
Cons is ionizing radiation, iv contrast for renally impaired
Used often for head ct in tbi, stroke, bleed, abdomen, c-spine, pelvic and facial
fractures
XRAY
Pros is inexpensive, portable, fast, and effective for most tissues
Cons is it can miss soft tissue abnormalities
Order in 2-3 views
Frequent orders:
Chest pa and lateral- chest pain, kub for abdomen. nephrolithiasis, abdominal, extremity
Ultrasound- least invasive and rapid
Use in trauma, cardiac for pericardial fluid, AAA, 1
st
trimester of pregnancy, vascular
access, gallbladder disease, renal colic.
Good for looking for fluid collections
MRI- imaging of choice for spinal cord compression, occult femoral neck fracture,
posterior cranial fossa
Most expensive
Most detailed
Will require preauthorization and step wise approach for health insurance to cover
so start xray, ct, then mri
highest level of service billing CPT code
992 is outpatient visit and NEW PATIENT
99205 is the highest compensated outpatient visit
Usually worsening condition
With an ascending level of care
Level of acuity matters the most
Some providers bill on amount of time(outdated practice) but
certain medicare assess notes for level of acuity
Pg23 talks about how
your not supports billing
99203 is level three visi
t
99204 is level four visit
The last two numbers tell you the level
The first three numbers tell you outpatient, inpatient,
longterm care
Established patient
99213- lower acuity may or may not receive a Rx
99214- 3 chronic conditions, 2 new problems with a rx or
diagnostic point of care testing
99215-worsening condition especially with neurological sx
ascending level of care. In outpatient sent to er.
Established patient
You have more information embedded in the pt
This is paid less than 99205 because they are established
CPT Coding is the things you do
In house treatment and point of care testing can be billed
Ekg
Oxygen
Nebulizer
Rsv test
Ua
ICD10 is the diagnosis
writing Rx as a NP
Look at prescription template that is saved in pharmacology
NEURO
migraine HA- vascular headache
primary headache- the problem is the headache

During headache has one of:
o
Nausea
o
Vomiting
o
