E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young
children - ANSWER ✔✔Ans: A, B, C, E
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.
Ch. 1 #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 ✔✔Ans: B
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.
Ch. 1 #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 ✔✔Ans: 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.
