QUESTIONS AND DETAILED CORRECT
ANSWERS | A+ GRADE VERIFIED ANSWERS
Health Disparities -ANSWER ;-Health disparities are differences in
the incidence, prevalence, mortality rate, and burden of disease the
exist among specific population groups
Health Disparities can affect population groups based on -ANSWER
;-- gender
- Age
- Ethnicity and Race
- Socioeconomic status
- Education
- Geographic Location
-Sexual Orientation
- Disability Status
Example of Health Disparity: Sexual Identity -ANSWER ;-- Lesbian
and Bisexual women have higher rates of breast cancer and
cardiovascular disease
,- Gay and bisexual men have higher rates of HIV and viral hepatitis
Example of Health Disparity: Gender -ANSWER ;-Woman are less
likely to receive procedures for cardiovascular disease even though
they use more health care services than men
Example of Health Disparity: Age -ANSWER ;-Older adults may be
less likely to be offered aggressive treatments for medical problems
Healthcare Provider (HCP) Attitudes -ANSWER ;-- HCP attitudes can
affect health-seeking behaviors and are likely to result in less
aggressive or negative treatment practices and delay in diagnosis
What can nurses do to combat health disparities? -ANSWER ;-- Use
evidence based clinical guidelines
- Consider the health literacy level of your patients when planning
care and treatment, when explaining medical recommendations, and
when handing out written material
- Be sensitive to patient backgrounds and cultures
- Use translation services and provide patient education in patient's
language
-Volunteer with nonprofit community based agencies
- Get involved at the local, state, and national level (advocacy
through professional organizations, public policy, etc)
- Encourage workforce diversity
,Disease Prevention -ANSWER ;-Prevention includes a wide range of
activities- known as "interventions" - aimed at reducing risks or
threats to health
Disease Prevention Stages -ANSWER ;-Health care workers describe
three categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary
Primary Prevention -ANSWER ;-aims to prevent disease or injury
before it ever occurs.
- Done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or
injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to
disease or injury, and increasing resistance to disease or injury
should exposure occur
Examples of Primary Prevention -ANSWER ;-- Legislation and
enforcement to ban or control the use of hazardous products (e.g.
asbestos)
- Mandate safe and healthy practices (use of seatbelts and bike
helmets)
- Education about healthy and safe habits (eating well, exercise, not
smoking)
- Immunization against infectious diseases
Secondary prevention -ANSWER ;-aims to reduce the impact of a
disease or injury that has already occurred. This is done by detecting
and treating disease or injury as soon as possible to halt or slow its
progress, encouraging personal strategies to prevent reinjury or
, recurrence, and implementing programs to return people to their
original health and function to prevent long-term problems.
Secondary Prevention- Examples -ANSWER ;-- Regular exams,
breast or testicular self-exams andscreening tests to detect disease
in its earliest stages(mammograms to detect breast cancer).
- Maternal and child health screenings to prevent congenital
malformations.
- Daily, low-dose aspirins and/or diet and exercise programs to
prevent further heart attacks or strokes
- Suitably modified work so injured or ill workers can return safely to
their jobs
Tertiary Prevention -ANSWER ;-aims to soften the impact of an
ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects. This is done by
helping people manage long-term, often-complex health problems
and injuries (chronic diseases, permanent impairments) to improve
as much as possible their ability to function, their quality of life and
their life expectancy.
Tertiary Prevention- Examples -ANSWER ;-- Cardiac or stroke
rehabilitation programs, chronic disease management programs (ex:
diabetes, arthritis, depression)•
- Support groups that allow members to share strategies for living
well
- Vocational rehabilitation programs to retrain workers for new jobs
when they have recovered as much as possible.
