Ch 1- Concepts of Health and Disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and
    breakout sessions focusedon the World Health Organization
    (WHO) views on health. Of the following commentsmade by
    nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
    considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select
    all that apply.
    A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such
    activities as bookreviews and word games during social
    time
    B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in
    the skilled carefacilities
    C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population
    diagnosed with diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose
    control by providing in-home cookingclasses
    D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from
    their hemodialysissessions
    E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
    Ans: A, B, C, E
    Feedback:
    The WHO definition of health is defined as \u201ca state of complete physical, mental, and
    social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.\u201d 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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 2020 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 the treatment regime.
    C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
    D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
    health care facilities.
    Ans: B
    Feedback:
    In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
    alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
    promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
    promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access to
    health care). A client’s noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels
    within the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the \u201cattaining lives
    free of preventable disease and premature death\u201d determinant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A physician is providing care for a number of patients on a medical unit of a large,
    university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation
    between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease.
    Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of
    molecules that cause disease?
    A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion of
    packed red blood cells
    B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting from
    familial hypercholesterolemia
    C) A 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring oxygen
    therapy and chest physiotherapy
    D) A 30-year-old homeless man who has Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and
    is HIV positive.
    Ans: D
    Feedback:
    PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sickle
    cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples of the
    effects of abnormal molecules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A member of the health care team is researching the etiology and pathogenesis of a
    number of clients who are under his care in a hospital context. Which of the following
    aspects of clients’ situations bNesUt chSaraNctGer
    TizBes paOthMogenesis rather than etiology?
    A) A client who has been exposed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium
    B) A client who has 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
    Ans: B
    Feedback:
    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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has
    arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of
    the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient
    verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse’s teachings about coronary artery
    disease?
    A) \u201cAll I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won’t have any more heart attacks.\u201d
    B) \u201cMy artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
    French fries every day.\u201d
    C) \u201cSounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it
    easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.\u201d
    D) \u201cIf I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
    causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.\u201d
    Ans: C
    Feedback:
    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 people with coronary artery disease.
    Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of
    exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of his chronic
    obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is assessing the
    client for the first time. Which
    NofRtheIfNolGloTwBin.gCaOspMects of the patient’s current state of
    health would be best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
    A) The patient’s oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oxymetry.
    B) The patient notes that he has increased work of breathing when lying supine.
    C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient’s lower lung fields
    bilaterally.
    D) The patient’s respiratory rate is 31 breaths\/minute.
    Ans: B
    Feedback:
    Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
    such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
    and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Which of the following situations would be classified as a complication of a disease or
    outcome from the treatment regimen? Select all that apply.
    A) Massive pulmonary emboli following diagnosis of new-onset atrial fibrillation
    B) Burning, intense incision pain following surgery to remove a portion of colon due
    to intestinal aganglionosis
    C) Development of pulmonary fibrosis following treatment with bleomycin, an
    antibiotic chemotherapy agent used in treatment of lymphoma
    D) Gradual deterioration in ability to walk unassisted for a patient diagnosed with
    Parkinson disease
    E) Loss of short-term memory in a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease
    Ans: A, C
    Feedback:
    Development of pulmonary emboli and pulmonary fibrosis following chemotherapy are
    both examples of a complication (adverse extensions of a disease or outcome from
    treatment). It is normal to expect incisional pain following surgery. As Parkinson
    disease progresses, the inability to walk independently is expected. This is a normal
    progression for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Loss of short-term memory in a
    patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease is an expected finding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Laboratory testing is ordered for a male patient during a clinic visit for a routine
    follow-up assessment of hypertension. When interpreting lab values, the nurse knows
    that
    A) a normal value represenNtsUtheStIes
    Nt reTsuBlts thOat fall within the bell curve.
    B) if the lab result is above the 50% distribution, the result is considered elevated.
    C) all lab values are adjusted for gender and weight.
    D) if the result of a very sensitive test is negative, that does not mean the person is
    disease free.
    Ans: A
    Feedback:
    What is termed a normal value for a laboratory test is established statistically from
    results obtained from a selected sample of people. A normal value represents the test
    results that fall within the bell curve or the 95% distribution. Some lab values (like
    hemoglobin) are adjusted for gender, other comorbidities, or age. If the result of a very
    sensitive test is negative, it tells us the person does not have the disease, and the disease
    has been ruled out or excluded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
