1.
ofWhile attending
Health andan international
Diseasenursing conference, many discussions and
breakout sessions focused on the World Health Organization's (WHO) views on
health. Of the following comments made by nurses during a discussion session,
which statement(s) would be considered a good representation of the WHO
definition? Select all that apply.
A. Interests in keeping the older adult 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 older adult population diagnosed with
diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking
classes.
D. Providing transportation for clients receiving renal dialysis to and from their
hemodialysis sessions.
E. Providing handwashing education to a group of young children.
Answer: A, B, C, E
Rationale: 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.

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 2030 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 their treatment regimen.
C. The client has a good career with exceptional preventive healthcare benefits.
D. The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
healthcare facilities.
Answer: B
Rationale: In Healthy People 2030, the focus is to have healthcare and education
access and quality (such as using alternative therapies to minimize effects of
stress), economic stability (which includes having good healthcare benefits), and
social and community context (which includes living in a clean community with
good access to healthcare). Being noncompliant with treatments to control high
cholesterol levels with a family history to cardiovascular disease does not meet the
“neighborhood and built environment.”

3. A member of the healthcare team is researching the etiology and pathogenesis of
a number of clients who are under their care in a hospital context. Which client

B. A client who is having 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: 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.

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

5. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is
assessing the client for the first time. Which aspect of the client's current state of
health is best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
A. The client’s oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oximetry.
B. The client notes that they have increased work of breathing when lying supine.
C. The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the client’s lower lung fields
bilaterally.
D. The client’s respiratory rate is 31 breaths per minute.
Answer: B
Rationale: Symptoms are subjective reports by the client experiencing the health
problem, such as a report of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath
sounds, and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
