Ch. 1 #1 At an international nursing conference, many
discussions and breakout sessions focused on the World
Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the
following comments made by nurses during a discussion
session, which statements would be considered a good
representation of the WHO definition? Select all that
apply.
A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in
such activities as book reviews and word games during
social time
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes
provided in the skilled care facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly
population diagnosed with diabetes mellitus under tight
blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking
classes
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to
and from their hemodialysis sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of
young children - ANSWER-Ans: A, B, C, E
Rationale.
The WHO definition of health is defined as "a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease and infirmity." Engaging in
book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair
aerobics helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting
with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical
well-being even though the person has a chronic disease.
Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and
spread of germs.
Ch. 1 #2 A community health nurse is teaching a group of
recent graduates about the large variety of factors that
influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse
is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a
teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed,
which would be considered a determinant of health that is
outside the focus of this report?
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian
and Native American descent and practices various
alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular
disease related to hypercholesterolemia and remains
noncompliant with the treatment regime. C) The client has
a good career with exceptional preventative health care
benefits.
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban
community with access to many health care facilities. -
ANSWER-Ans: B
Rationale.
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good
health to all (such as using alternative therapies to
minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
promoting health for all (which includes having good
health care benefits); and promoting good health (which
includes living in a clean community with good access to
health care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to
control high cholesterol levels within the presence of a
family history of CV disease does not meet the "attaining
lives free of preventable disease and premature death"
determinant.
Ch. 1 #3 A physician is providing care for a number of
patients on a medical unit of a large, university hospital.
The physician is discussing with a colleague the
differentiation between diseases that are caused by
abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease.
Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates
the consequences of molecules that cause disease?
A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is
receiving a transfusion of packed red blood cells
B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an
ischemic stroke resulting from familial
hypercholesterolemia
C) A 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic
fibrosis requiring oxygen therapy and chest physiotherapy
D) A 30-year-old homeless man who has Pneumocystis
carinii pneumonia (PCP) and is HIV positive. - ANSWERAns: D
Rationale.
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly
contributes to disease. Sickle cell anemia, familial
hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples
of the effects of abnormal molecules.
Ch. 1 #4 A member of the health care team is researching
the etiology and pathogenesis of a number of clients who
are under his care in a hospital context. Which of the
following aspects of clients' situations best characterizes
pathogenesis rather than etiology?
A) A client who has been exposed to the Mycobacterium
tuberculosis bacterium
B) A client who has increasing serum ammonia levels due
to liver cirrhosis
C) A client who was admitted with the effects of methyl
alcohol poisoning
D) A client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a
motor vehicle accident - ANSWER-Ans: B
Rationale.
Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary
course of disease, such as the increasing ammonia levels
that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and
traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.
