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.

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.

ANSWER: D

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 new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has

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

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

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

artery disease?

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

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

fries every day.”

C)“Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it easy

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

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

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

ANSWER: C

Feedback:

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

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

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