1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



commentsmade by Nursing attendants during a discussion session, which statements
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



would be considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



apply.
n1



A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



bookreviews and word games during social time
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



carefacilities n1 n1



C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



cookingclasses n1 n1



D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis hospital patients to and from their n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



hemodialysissessions n1 n1



E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



childrenPRECISE CHOICE:- A, B, C, E
n1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1



Reasoning:->>>
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



andsocial well-being and not merely the absence of illness and infirmity.‖ Engaging
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



facilitating physical well-being even though the person has a chronic illness.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Handwashing is vitalin the prevention of illness and spread of germs.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




2. A community health Nursing attendant is teaching a group of recent graduates
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



about the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



thereof. The Nursing attendant is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



fromthe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a teaching example.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Of the following aspects discussed, which would be considered a determinant of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



health that is outside the focus of this report?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) The hospital patient has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



American descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



effects of stress. n1 n1 n1



B) The hospital patient has a family history of cardiovascular illness related
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



to hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



regime. n1



C) The hospital patient has a good career with exceptional preventative primary health care
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



benefits. n1



D) The hospital patient lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



access tomany primary health care facilities.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



PRECISE CHOICE:- B n1 n1



Reasoning:->>>
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



promoting health for all (which includes having good primary health care benefits);
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



andpromoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



access tohealth care). A hospital patient's noncompliance with treatments to control
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



high cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of CV illness does not
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



meet the ―attaininglives free of preventable illness and premature death‖ determinant.

, 3. A physician is providing care for a number of hospital patients on a medical unit of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a large, university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



differentiation between illnesss that are caused by abnormal molecules and illnesss
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



that cause illness.Which of the following hospital patients most clearly
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



demonstrates the consequences of molecules that cause illness?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



ofpacked red blood cells
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



fromfamilial hypercholesterolemia
n1 n1 n1



C) A 19-year-old man with exacerbation of his cystic fibrosis requiring
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



oxygentherapy and chest physiotherapy
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) A 30-year-old homeless man who has Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP)
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



andis HIV positive.
n1 n1 n1 n1



PRECISE CHOICE:- D n1 n1



Reasoning :->>>PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



illness. Sicklecell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all
n1 n1 1n n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



examples of the effects of abnormal molecules.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




4. A member of the primary health care team is researching the etiology and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



pathogenesis of a number of hospital patients who are under his care in a hospital
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



context. Which of the following aspects of hospital patients' situations best
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



characterizes pathogenesisrather than etiology?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) A hospital patient who has been exposed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) A hospital patient who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



C) A hospital patient who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) A hospital patient with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



motor vehicleaccident PRECISE CHOICE:- B
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n 1



Reasoning:->>>Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of illness, n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



such as theincreasing ammonia levels that accompany liver illness. Bacteria, poisons,
n1 n1 n1 1n n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



and traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




5. A new myocardial infarction hospital patient requiring angioplasty and stent
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



placement has arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



session, a review of the pathogenesis of coronary artery illness is addressed. Which
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



statement by the hospital patientverifies to the Nursing attendant that he has
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



understood the Nursing attendant's teachings about coronary artery illness?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) ―All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heart attacks.‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) ―My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



likeFrench fries every day.‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



C) ―Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



iteasy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) ―If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



attack.‖ n1



PRECISE CHOICE:- C n1 n1



Reasoning:->>>The true etiology/cause of coronary artery illness (CAD) is unknown; n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



however, the
