The use of knowledge from previous courses is important in both pathophysiology and the
nursing courses you will be taking. Taking the time to understand the content and commit it to
memory, rather than learning enough to pass a test, is crucial to being a successful student and
nurse.
The basic ______ processes that cause altered health are the _______. How the original
______ and symptoms differ is often related to the body of ______ involved.
Pathophysiological
The same
Signs and Symptoms
System
RATIONALE: The basic pathophysiological processes that cause altered health are the same.
How the signs and symptoms differ is often related to the body system involved.
Think of it like this. . . Inflammation of the ankle results in redness, warmth, and swelling that is
visible and can be touched. Inflammation of the brain has the same redness, warmth, and
swelling, only it is not visible and cannot be touched.
So recognizing inflammation as the cause of a severe headache, rather than an alteration in

Based on which factors are the number and types of tests needed to confirm an alteration in
health chosen? Select all that apply.
Condition of the person
Pathophysiologic process suspected
Cues related to body system
RATIONALE: The exact tests ordered by the healthcare provider are based on the condition of
the person seeking care, making the ability to recognize and understand cues important. In
addition, the suspected pathophysiologic process may determine which tests are needed.
The preference of the healthcare provider and ability of the person to pay for care should not be
used when providing care.
Based on Jeb's information, which steps can he take to get back to the level of health he had
before he fell? Select all that apply.

taking over-the-counter pain medicine, but it does not really help
no longer able to lift heavy objects
needs to take breaks more frequently
OPTIONS:
Lose weight
Perform the recommended exercises
Use crutches when walking
Change jobs
Apply for disability
Perform the recommended exercises
Use crutches when walking
Lose weight
RATIONALE: While not all injuries and illnesses (alterations in health) can be prevented, eating a
well-balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and reducing stress are
all proven strategies to restore and maintain health.
Changing jobs and applying for disability will not assist Jeb back to his pre-injury state of health.
A relative calls and tells you they are not feeling well. They have a fever, sore throat, body
aches, and a cough with thick sputum.
