environmental issues can influence mothers during their pregnancy as well as well as effect theireggs ex: powerplant1st trimester is important to avoid environmental issues. these factors lead to congnitive impairment- genetic chromosmal disorders - brain injury -trauma - complication during delivery(cerbral palsy) -illness during preg. -interaction w/ others- malnutrtion

these can effect the level of sophistication of processing things

Terets - involuntary spasms; poor med. careneurological impairments and physical tics

when looking up diseases the etiology and pathophysiology cause and effect(tissue) - why & howthis allows you to priortize

tests for cog. function and impairmentdenver test for school h childrenbinet test, i.q. test

ImmunityPassive immunity allows body to develop anti-bodies b/c it can identify threat

Severe Combined Immuno-Deficiency diseaseBoy in the Bubble, immune systemis non-functionalnormal wbc 4500 to 11,000read up on SCIDImmuno-compromised - body does not recognize foreign matter no resistance

how do you recognize an early from SCID? bloodtest

Lupus - etiology - auto-immune/attack selfS&S - rashes, neurological, low blood low platlet
