1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focused
c c c c c c c c c c
on the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
made by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be considered a
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
cgood representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
c c c c c c c c c
A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book c c c c c c c c c c c
reviews and word games during social time

B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care c c c c c c c c c c c c
facilities c
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with c c c c c c c c
diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking

classes c
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis c c c c c c c c c c
sessions c
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children c c c c c c c c c
Ans: A, B, C, E
c c c c c
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
csocial well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in
c c c c c c c c c c c c
cbook reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
c c c c c c c c c c
cphysical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
c c c c c c c c c c c
cphysical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital
c c c c c c c c c c c c
in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.

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

,3. A physician is providing care for a number of patients on a medical unit of a large,
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation
c c c c c c c c c c c
between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of
c c c c c c c c c c c
molecules that cause disease?
c c c c
A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion of
c c c c c c c c c c c c
packed red blood cells
c c c c
B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resultingfrom
c c c c c c c c c c
familial hypercholesterolemia
c c
C) A 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring oxygen
c c c c c c c c c c
therapy and chest physiotherapy
c c c c
D) A 30-year-old homeless man who has Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and
c c c c c c c c c c
is HIV positive.
c c c
Ans: D c
Feedback:
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sickle
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples of the
c c c c c c c c c c c c
effects of abnormal molecules.

paOthMogenesis rather than etiology?
c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c c c
B) A client who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis
c c c c c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c c c c
D) A client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor vehicle accident
c c c c c c c c c c c
Ans: B
c c
Feedback:
Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the
c c c c c c c c c c c c
increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and
c c c c c c c c c c
ctraumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.

, 5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has
c c c c c c c c c c
arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
disease?
c
A) “All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heartattacks.”
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
B) “My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
French fries every day.”
c c c c
C) “Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made itc c c c c c c c c c c c
easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.”
c c c c c c c c c c c
D) “If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.”
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
Ans: C c
Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the
c c c c c c c c c c c
pathogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process from
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
a fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
exercise.

spMects of the patient's current state of
c c c c c c c c c
health would be best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
c c c c c c c c c c c c
A) The patient's oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oxymetry.
c c c c c c c c
B) The patient notes that he has increased work of breathing when lying supine.
c c c c c c c c c c c c
C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient's lower lung fields
c c c c c c c c c c c
bilaterally. c
D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.
c c c c c c
Ans: B
c c
Feedback:
Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
c c c c c c c c c c
such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
c c c c c c c c c c c c
and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
