WHO 1948 definition of health - Answer✔a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Healthy People 2020 - Answer✔Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease,
disability, injury, and premature death.
Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.
Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.
Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.
pathophysiology definition - Answer✔the study of the body's response to dysfunction or
disease
disease definition - Answer✔interruption, cessation, or disorder of bodily functions, systems, or
organs
etiology - Answer✔causes of disease (what sets disease in motion)
pathogenesis - Answer✔how the disease process evolves
morphology - Answer✔the fundamental structure or form of cells or tissues.
Morphologic changes are concerned with gross anatomic and microscopic changes that are
characteristic of disease

clinical manifestations - Answer✔signs and symptoms
(example: fever, or pain, or difficulty breathing
diagnosis - Answer✔the designation as to the nature or cause of health problem
clinical course - Answer✔the evolution of a disease. Acute/chronic, or
preclinical/subclinical/clinical/carrier.....
Etilogic factors (causes of disease) - Answer✔•Biologic agents (e.g., bacteria, viruses)
•Physical forces (e.g., trauma, burns, radiation)
•Chemical agents (e.g., poisons, alcohol)
•Nutritional excesses or deficits
reliability - Answer✔the extent to which an observation, when repeated, gives the same result
-ex: in ICU setting it has been shown that if you perform oral care Q2H, it prevents occurence of
respiratory infection (evidence based practice- able to prove over and over that this protocol is
reliable)
validity - Answer✔the extent to which a measurement tool measures what it is intended to
measure
-ex: how did we measure that the sepsis bundle was actually valid
sensitivity and specificity - Answer✔determining the likelihood or how well the test or
observation identifies people with or without a disease
-ex: blood test that will detect for 23 different types of diseases, cancers
predictive value - Answer✔the extent to which an observation or test result is able to predict
the presence of a given disease or condition

-ex: measuring a man's PSA, can we use it to predict prostate cancer-> shown to be a good
predictor of disease
Incidence - Answer✔NEW CASES
•the number of new cases arising in a population at risk during a specified time
Prevalence - Answer✔EXISTING DISEASE
a measure of existing disease in a population at a given point in time
Morbidity - Answer✔•describes the effects an illness has on a person's life
-Concerned with the incidence, persistence, and long-term consequences of disease
Moratlity - Answer✔pertains to the causes of death in a given population
Natural history of disease - Answer✔•Used as a predictor of outcome for diseases for which
there is ~no effective treatment~
•Information about the natural history of a disease and the potential of effective treatment
methods provide directions for preventive measures.
-> "if we do nothing, this is what you will see"
primary prevention - Answer✔(e.g., immunizations)
removing risk factors, so disease does not occur
secondary prevention - Answer✔(e.g., Pap smears)
detecting disease when still curable
tertiary prevention - Answer✔(e.g., antibiotic use)
preventing further deterioration or reducing complications of disease
