chapter 1- concepts of health and disease
1. at an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout
sessions focused on the world health organization (who) views on health. of the
following comments made by nurses during a discussion session, which
statements would be considered a good representation of the who definition?
select all that apply.
a) interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as
book reviews and word games during social time
b) increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled
care facilities
c) interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed
with diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home
cooking classes
d) providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their
hemodialysis sessions
e) providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
CORRECT ANSWER>a, b, c, e

feedback:
the who definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental,
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.”
engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics
helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes
helps with facilitating physical well-being even though the person has a chronic
disease. handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.

,2. a community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about
the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof.
the nurse is referring to the healthy people 2020 report from the u.s.
department of health and human services as a teaching example. of the
following aspects discussed, which would be considered a determinant of health
that is outside the focus of this report?
a) the client has a diverse background by being of asian and native american
descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
b) the client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
c) the client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care
benefits.
d) the client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to
many health care facilities.
CORRECT ANSWER>b

feedback:
in healthy people 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good
access to health care). a client's noncompliance with treatments to control high
cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of cv disease does not
meet the “attaining lives free 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, university hospital. the physician is discussing with a colleague the
differentiation between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and
diseases that cause disease. which of the following patients most clearly
demonstrates the consequences of molecules that cause disease?

, a) a 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a
transfusion of packed red blood cells
b) a 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting
from familial hypercholesterolemia
c) a 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring oxygen
therapy and chest physiotherapy
d) a 30-year-old homeless man who has pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
(pcp) and is hiv positive.
CORRECT ANSWER>d

feedback:
pcp is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease.
sickle cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all
examples of the effects of abnormal molecules.




4. a member of the health care team is researching the etiology and
pathogenesis of a number of clients who are under his care in a hospital context.
which of the following aspects of clients' situations best characterizes
pathogenesis rather than etiology?
a) a client who has been exposed to the mycobacterium tuberculosis
bacterium
b) a client who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis
c) a client who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning
d) a client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor vehicle
accident
CORRECT ANSWER>b
