1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focused
x x x x x x x x x x


on the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


made by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be considered a
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
x x x x x x x x x x


A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book x x x x x x x x x x x


reviews and word games during social time
x x x x x x x


B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled carex x x x x x x x x x x x


facilities x


C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with x x x x x x x x


diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking
x x x x x x x x x x x


classes x


D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis x x x x x x x x x x


sessions x


E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children x x x x x x x x x


Ans: A, B, C, E
x x x x x


Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
x x x x x x x x x x x


physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
x x x x x x x x x x x x


physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.

2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xvariety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xreferring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which
x x x x x x x x x x x


xwould be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
x x x x x x x x x x x x


descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
x x x x x x x x x x x


B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
x x x x x x x x x x


hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
x x x x x x x x


C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
x x x x x x x x x x x


D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
x x x x x x x x x x x x


health care facilities.
x x x


Ans: B x


Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xalternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
x x x x x x x x x x


xpromoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
x x x x x x x x x x x


xpromoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access to
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xhealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels
x x x x x x x x x x x


xwithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the “attaining lives
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xfree of preventable disease and premature death” determinant.

3. A physician is providing care for a number of patients on a medical unit of a large,
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation
x x x x x x x x x x x


between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of
x x x x x x x x x x x


molecules that cause disease?
x x x x


A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion of
x x x x x x x x x x x x


packed red blood cells
x x x x


B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting from
x x x x x x x x x x


familial hypercholesterolemia
x x


C) A 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring oxygen
x x x x x x x x x x


therapy and chest physiotherapy
x x x x


D) A 30-year-old homeless man who has Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and
x x x x x x x x x x


is HIV positive.
x x x


Ans: D x


Feedback:
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sickle
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples of the
x x x x x x x x x x x x


effects of abnormal molecules.

4. A member of the health care team is researching the etiology and pathogenesis of a
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


number of clients who are under his care in a hospital context. Which of the following

aspects of clients' situations bN

x x x x x x x x x x x


C) A client who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning
x x x x x x x x x x x


D) A client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor vehicle accident
x x x x x x x x x x x


Ans: B

Feedback:
Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the
x x x x x x x x x x x x


increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and
x x x x x x x x x x


traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.

5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has
x x x x x x x x x x


arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


disease?
x


A) “All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heart attacks.”
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


B) “My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


French fries every day.”
x x x x


C) “Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made itx x x x x x x x x x x x


easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.”
x x x x x x x x x x x


D) “If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.”
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


Ans: C x


Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the
x x x x x x x x x x x


pathogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process from
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


a fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


exercise.

6. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of his chronic
x x x x x x x x x x x x


obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is assessing the

client for the first time. WhichNU

x spMects of the patient's current state of
x x x x x x x x x


health would be best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
x x x x x x x x x x x x


A) The patient's oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oxymetry.
x x x x x x x x


B) The patient notes that he has increased work of breathing when lying supine.
x x x x x x x x x x x x


C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient's lower lung fields
x x x x x x x x x x x


bilaterally. x


D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.
x x x x x x


Ans: B
x x


Feedback:
Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
x x x x x x x x x x


such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
x x x x x x x x x x x x


and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
