How are symptoms and signs different - ANS ✔✔ - symptoms are what the patient reports
Signs are objective or measurable
Outcomes - ANS ✔✔ - cure, remission, chronicity, or death
Primary prevention - ANS ✔✔ - Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from ever occurring.
Secondary prevention - ANS ✔✔ - -focuses on early identification of individuals or
communities experiencing illness, providing treatment, and conducting activities that are
geared to prevent worsening health status
-examples: communicable disease screening and case finding; early detection and treatment
of diabetes; exercise programs for older adult clients who are frail
Tertiary prevention - ANS ✔✔ - -aims to prevent the long-term consequences of a chronic
illness or disability and to support optimal functioning

independence for the client who has traumatic brain injury
Atrophy - ANS ✔✔ - Decrease or shrinkage in cellular size.Most common in skeletal muscle,
heart, secondary sex organs, and brain.
Physiologic atrophy - ANS ✔✔ - occurs with early development. Ex. Thymus gland gets
physiologic atrophy during childhood.
Pathologic atrophy - ANS ✔✔ - occurs as a result of decreases in workload, pressure, use,
blood supply, nutrition, hormonal stimulation, and nervous stimulation
Hypertrophy - ANS ✔✔ - Increase in the size of the cells that increase the size of the affected
organ. Heart and kidneys (responsive to enlargement) and skeletal muscle.
Physiologic hypertrophy - ANS ✔✔ - occurs with increased demand, stimulation of
hormones, and growth factors. Ex. Pregnancy causes hormone induced hypertrophy of the
uterus, in skeletal muscle occurs as a response to heavy workload.
Pathologic hypertrophy - ANS ✔✔ - results from chronic hemodynamic overload. Ex.
Hypertension or heart valve dysfunction. Hypertrophic cells have increased accumulation of
ER, plasma membrane, myofilaments, mitochondria (not cellular fluid). Nucleus is also
