BSNC1000 midterm 1 notes
Population health - ANS-The health outcomes of a population as measured by the determinants
of health and health status indicators
What is the scope of population health? - ANS-- Health promotion
- Illness and injury prevention
- Epidemiology
- Chronic disease management
What are the three levels of prevention? - ANS-primary, secondary, tertiary
Epidemiology - ANS-The study of the distribution and determinants fo health related states or
events (including disease)
Epidemiological triad - ANS-agent, host, environment
Chain of infection - ANS-Infectious agent/pathogen --> reservoir/source for growth --> portal of
exit from reservoir --> mode of transmission --> portal of entry to host --> susceptible host
Web of causation - ANS-Recognizes the complex interrelationships of many factors interacting,
sometimes in subtle ways, to increase or decrease the risk for disease
Health promotion - ANS-the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to
improve, their health
Community - ANS-A group of people who live, learn,, work and play in an environment at a
given time. They share common characteristics and interests and function in a social system.
Disease - ANS-The objective state of ill health and the pathological process which can be
detected by medical science (Ex: using exams, tests, etc)
Illness - ANS-The subjective experience of the loss of health. Dependent on one's personal
experience and perception.
prepathogenesis - ANS-No disease is present but susceptibility still exists
Primary prevention - ANS-Activities that prevent the development of disease. No signs or
symptoms are present.
Secondary prevention - ANS-Seeks to detect disease early in its progression before signs and
symptoms occur
, Tertiary prevention - ANS-Activities done to interrupt the course of disease after it has already
set in.
mortality - ANS-The number of deaths in a population
Morbidity - ANS-The occurrence of disease in a population. This includes incidence and
prevalence rates.
Prevalence rate - ANS-The number of people who already have the disease, over a defined
time
Incidence rate - ANS-The number of new cases in a population at risk over a defined time
Risk - ANS-Likelihood that an event ill occur within a specified time period
What does the expanded chronic care model add in? - ANS-Improved from the original concept
of CCM because it now adds:
Health promotion
Disease prevention
Enhanced community participation
Intersectoral collaboration
Addresses SDoH
What influences population health? - ANS-The determinants of health. Such as: income and
social status, education and literacy, employment/working conditions, healthy child
development, gender, etc
Chronic disease self-management - ANS-Approach emphasizing prevention, early detection
and management of chronic illness. The goal is to empower clients to develop self management
skills to manage their own symptoms so they become independent and partners in their own
care.
Growth - ANS-The number of cells and size increases resulting in increased size and weight. A
quantifiable change.
development - ANS-The sequence of physical, psychosocial and cognitive development that
take place over a lifetime. A qualitative change that is hard to measure.
What are the seven developmental tasks of the older adult? - ANS-- Adjusting to decreasing
health and physical strength
- Adjusting to retirement and reduced/fixed income
- Adjusting to death of a spouse
- Accepting one's self as an aging person
