1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focused
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
on the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
made by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be considered a g
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ood representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
reviews and word games during social time gi gi gi gi gi gi
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with diabe gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
tes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
home cooking classes gi gi
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
Ans: A, B, C, E gi gi gi gi
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental, and s
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ocial well- gi
being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.‖ Engaging in book reviews f
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
acilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the preventi
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
on of disease and spread of germs.

2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large v
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ariety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is re
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ferring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and H
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
uman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which w
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ould be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American d
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
escent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to hyperch
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
olesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime. gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
health care facilities. gi gi
Ans: B gi
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using altern
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting he
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
alth for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good healt
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
h (which includes living in a clean community with good access to health care). A client
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels within the presence
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
of a family history of CV disease does not meet the ―attaining lives free of preventable
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
disease and premature death‖ determinant.

,3. A physician is providing care for a number of patients on a medical unit of a large, univ
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ersity hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation between
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease. Which o
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
f the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of molecules that c

A) A 31-year- gi

blood cells gi gi
B) A 91-year- gi
old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting from familial hy

percholesterolemia
C) A 19-year- gi
old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring oxygen therapy an
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
d chest physiotherapy gi gi
D) A 30-year- gi
old homeless man who has Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and is HIV pos
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
itive.
Ans: D gi
Feedback:
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sickle
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples of the ef
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
fects of abnormal molecules.

gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the inc

reasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and traumatic i
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
njuries are examples of etiologic factors.

gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ed to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of the pat
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
hogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient verifie
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
s to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery disease
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
?
A) ―All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heartattacks.‖
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
B) ―My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
French fries every day.‖ gi gi gi
C) ―Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.‖
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
D) ―If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins c
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ausing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.‖
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
Ans: C gi
Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the pat
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
hogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process from a f
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
atty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease. Ri
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
sk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of exerc
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ise.
6. A 77-year-gi
old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of his chronic obstructive pul

spMects of the patient's current state of health would be
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient's lower lung fields
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
bilaterally.
D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
Ans: B gi
Feedback:
Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
