HSC 300 EXAM 1 COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
GUIDE WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ action stage.
Answer: patient is actively engaging in the plan
◉ maintenance stage.
Answer: patient integrates newly adopted behavior patterns into his
or her lifestyle
◉ normal range for temperature.
Answer: 36-38 degrees c or 96.8-100.4 degrees f
◉ normal temperature range for elderly population.
Answer: 35-36.1 degrees c or 95-97 degrees f
◉ what are the factors that affect temperature.
Answer: age
exercise
hormone level
circadian rhythm
,stress
environment
◉ factors affecting temperature: age.
Answer: as you age, your temperature tens to run lower
◉ factors affecting temperature: exercise.
Answer: increase blood supply, increase heat production, increase
body temperature
◉ factors affecting temperature: hormone level.
Answer: women experience increase fluctuation in body temp
(progesterone)
◉ factors affecting temperature: circadian rhythm.
Answer: lowest temperature at 6 am and highest temperature at 4
pm (in healthy people)
◉ factors affecting temperature: stress.
Answer: stress increases metabolism, increasing oxygen need
when the body cant meet this demand = hypoxia
, ◉ factors affecting temperature: environment.
Answer: room temperature/ temperature outside can lead to
increase or decrease body temperature
◉ fever.
Answer: Abnormally high body temperature
important mechanism and enhances immune system
◉ hyperthermia.
Answer: abnormally high body temperature due to the body inability
to promote heat loss or reduce heat production
◉ hypothermia.
Answer: Abnormally low body temperature often associated with
exposure to cold and the body is unable to compensate
◉ heatstroke.
Answer: prolonged exposure to the sun or high environmental
temperature
overwhelms the heat-loss mechanisms the body
◉ heat exhaustion.
