Ch 1- Concepts of Health and Disease
1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focusedon
the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following commentsmade
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 cookingclasses
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis
sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
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.
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 tohealth 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) andis
HIV positive.
ANSWER: D
Feedback:
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sicklecell
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 bN
esUt chSaraNctGerTizBes paOthMogenesis 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
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the
increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and
traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.
