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



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



commentsmade by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



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



bookreviews and word games during social time
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



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



carefacilities kr kr



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



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



cookingclasses kr kr



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



hemodialysissessionskr kr



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



childrenAns: A, B, C, E
kr kr kr kr kr kr



Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.‖ Engaging in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



vitalin the prevention of disease and spread of germs.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



which would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



report?
kr



A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



stress. kr



B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



regime. kr



C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



manyhealth care facilities.
kr kr kr kr



Ans: B kr



Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



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



promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



tohealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



levelswithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



―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,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



disease.Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



molecules that cause disease?
kr kr kr kr



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



ofpacked red blood cells
kr kr kr kr kr



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



fromfamilial hypercholesterolemia
kr kr kr



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



oxygentherapy and chest physiotherapy
kr kr kr kr kr



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



andis HIV positive. kr kr kr kr



Ans: D kr



Feedback:
PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



Sicklecell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



of the effects of abnormal molecules.

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



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



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



attack.‖ kr



Ans: C kr



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



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



froma fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



disease. Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



lack of exercise.

6. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of his chronic
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is assessing
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



theclient for the first time. Which of the following aspects of the patient's current state
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



of health would be best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
