nurse should recognize which social determinants of this client's health?
(Select all that apply.)
A) Household income of $23,000 per year
B) Reading level of a third grader

D) Originally from Sudan
E) No family in the area
Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical,
social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical error
on the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social
determinant of the client's health.

,3. A nurse successfully persuades an obese client to perform a weekly weigh-in at home
using a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an example of:
A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology
C) Personal responsibility for health
D) Evidence-based nursing
Ans: C
Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive change
in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of electronic
information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical
healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public health, and health
administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined as the comprehensive
management of health information and its exchange between consumers, providers,
government, and insurers in a secure manner. Evidence-based nursing is the integration
of the best evidence available with clinical expertise and the values of the client to
increase the quality of care.
