Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental, and
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.‖ Engaging in
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is

In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using

Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

problem, such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to

,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

diseaseAns: A, C
,S ,S ,S ,S

Feedback:
Development of pulmonary emboli and pulmonary fibrosis following chemotherapy ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

areboth examples of a complication (adverse extensions of a disease or outcome from
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

treatment). It is normal to expect incisional pain following surgery. As Parkinson
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

disease progresses, the inability to walk independently is expected. This is a normal
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

progression for people diagnosed with Parkinson's. Loss of short-term memory in a
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease is an expected finding.

follow-up assessment of hypertension. When interpreting lab values, the nurse
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

knowsthat
,S ,S

A) a normal value represents the test results that fall within the bell curve.
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

B) if the lab result is above the 50% distribution, the result is considered elevated.
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

C) all lab values are adjusted for gender and weight.
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

D) if the result of a very sensitive test is negative, that does not mean the person
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

isdisease free. ,S ,S ,S

Ans: A ,S

Feedback:
What is termed a normal value for a laboratory test is established statistically from
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

results obtained from a selected sample of people. A normal value represents the test
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

results that fall within the bell curve or the 95% distribution. Some lab values (like
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

hemoglobin) are adjusted for gender, other comorbidities, or age. If the result of a very
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

sensitive test is negative, it tells us the person does not have the disease, and the
,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S ,S

diseasehas been ruled out or excluded.
