208 Community Exam 1
Dark patches in the folds of the skin that do not itch or burn are known as Acanthosis nigricans
(ANS). Children from ethnic minorities and signs of type 2 diabetes Acute conjunctivitis (pink
eye) - ANS-Wash inside to outside
ANS-ADHD may have low self-esteem and have difficulty interacting with others. Asthma attack
- ANS-Increased pulse, increased respiratory rate, increased PCO2, ph decreases (respiratory
acidosis)
Children living/ working on farm should - ANS-Preform short, simple tasks out of direct sunlight
Children who live on farms or work there shouldn't - ANS- use heavy machinery, work with
large animals, apply pesticides or herbicides, or work in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Chronic illness management (tertiary prevention) - ANS-Is about improving self care capacity,
preventing complications, improving the quality of life, and reducing symptoms
community-based nursing - ANS-Illness care of individuals in the community.
Community-oriented nursing (ANS) focuses primarily on health promotion rather than illness
care (in the community, population, or group of people). Diabetes - ANS—Important skin care
and infection prevention Disenfranchisement - ANS-Feeling like they're on the outside of
everyone else, forgotten, unimportant, unseen. Some groups of people, such as the poor,
homeless, and migrant workers, are "invisible" to society as a whole and tend to be forgotten in
health and social planning.
Eczema - ANS-Associated with asthma and allergies including family history
Exposure to secondhand smoke causes many issues - ANS-increased risk for SIDS when
mother smokes during pregnancy, increased rates of ear infections and respiratory infections,
increased risk for asthma attacks, long term increased risk for cancers/lung disease just like the
smoker, and much higher risk of the child smoking
Farmworkers have the following health risks - ANS-pesticide exposure, heat/sun exposure,
hazardous tools/machinery, infectious disease, musculoskeletal injuries, respiratory illnesses,
skin disorders, eye injuries
iron deficiency anemia - ANS-Vitamin C improves iron absorption
Headaches, abdominal pain, constipation, clumsiness, and agitation can result from lead
exposure, which can also cause convulsions and stupor. Liver, red meat, egg yolk, dark green
leafy veggies, dried fruits, dried beans, and iron fortified cereals/breads - ANS-High iron foods
Migrant Farmworkers - ANS-Female have a high risk of sexual harassment or abuse
Mother during pregnancy, GI bleed (whole milk to young infants), menstrual bleeding,
inadequate dietary intake, or poor absorption - ANS-Can be related to iron deficiency
normal or healthy weight BMI - ANS-5th-85th percentile
Obese BMI - ANS-greater than 95th percentile
ANS-related outcomes include increased morbidity and mortality, a high prevalence of chronic
illnesses (HTN), a high prevalence of communicable diseases (TB, hepatitis B, sexually
transmitted diseases, and the flu), and higher mortality rates than the general population (living
conditions, diet, health status, crime, and violence). Overweight BMI - ANS-85th-95th percentile
