Nurses Creed

Lord, let me begin today with your blessing To provide care for those who need me. Give me the patience to listen, Intuition to see beyond the visible, Knowledge to practice the art of nursing, And the attitude to deliver care with humility. Help me to see every patient clearly Unbiased, and with individual respect. Help me to face fear and anxiety With kind words and a gentle touch. Help me to see the joy and wonder each new day brings And let your healing light shine through my hands. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen!

Immunoglobulin isotypes

IgA – can be located in secretions and prevents viral and bacterial attachment to membranes.

IgD - can be located on B cells

IgE -main mediator of mast cells with allergen exposure.

IgG - primarily found in secondary responses. Does cross placenta and destroys viruses/bacteria.

IgM - primarily found in first response. Located on B cells

Cytokines Review

IL-1 Primarily stimulate of fever response. Helps activate B and T cells. Produced by macrophages.

IL-2 Aids in the development of Cytotoxic T cells and helper cells. Produced by helper T cells.

IL-3 Aids in the development of bone marrow stem cells. Produced by T-cells.

IL-4 Aids in the growth of B cells. Produced by helper T-cells. Aids in the production of IgG and IgE

IL-5 Promotes the growth of eosinophils. Produced by helper T-cells. Also promotes IgA production.

IL-8 Neutrophil factor

TNF-α Promotes the activation of neutrophils and is produced by macrophages.

TNF-β Produced by T lymphocytes and encourages the activation of neutrophils

γ-interferon (Activates macrophages and is produced by helper T cells.)

Controlled Substance Categories
