chapter 1- Concepts of Health and Disease

1. At an international nursing conference, many

,discussions and breakout sessions focused on the

World Health Organization (WHO) views on health.

Of the following comments made by nurses during a

discussion session, which statements would be

considered a good representation of the WHO

definition? Select all that apply.



A) Interests in keeping the elderly population

engaged in such activities as book reviews and

word games during social time

B)

Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes

provided in the skilled care facilities

C)

Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly

population diagnosed with diabetes mellitus

under tight blood glucose control by providing

in-home cookingclasses

D)

Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their haemodialysis Sessions



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

ANS:A, B, C, E

Feedback:

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.

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.

ANS:B

Feedback:

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.

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.

ANS:D

Feedback:

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.

4. A member of the health care team is researching the etiology and pathogenesis of a

number of clients who are under his care in a hospital context. Which of the following

aspects of clients' situations bNesUt characterizes pathogeneses rather than etiology?

A) A client who has been exposed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium

B) A client who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis

C) A client who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning

D) A client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor vehicle accident

ANS:B

Feedback:

Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the

increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and

traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.

,5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has

arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of

the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient

verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery

disease?

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

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

French fries every day.”

C) “Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it

easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.”

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

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

ANS:C

Feedback:

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

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

a fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease.

Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of

exercise.

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

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

client for the first time. WhicNh ofRtheIfolGloTwBin.gCaOspMects of the patient's current state of

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

A) The patient's oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oxymetry.

B) The patient notes that he has increased work of breathing when lying supine.

C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient's lower lung fields

bilaterally.

D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.

ANS:B

, Feedback:

Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,

such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,

and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.

7. Which of the following situations would be classified as a complication of a disease or

outcome from the treatment regimen? Select all that apply.

A) Massive pulmonary emboli following diagnosis of new-onset atrial fibrillation

B) Burning, intense incision pain following surgery to remove a portion of colon due

to intestinal ganglionitis

C) Development of pulmonary fibrosis following treatment with bleomycin, an

antibiotic chemotherapy agent used in treatment of lymphoma

D) Gradual deterioration in ability to walk unassisted for a patient diagnosed with

Parkinson disease

E) Loss of short-term memory in a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease

ANS:A, C

Feedback:

Development of pulmonary emboli and pulmonary fibrosis following chemotherapy are

both examples of a complication (adverse extensions of a disease or outcome from

treatment). It is normal to expect incisional pain following surgery. As Parkinson

disease progresses, the inability to walk independently is expected. This is a normal

progression for people diagnosed with Parkinson's. Loss of short-term memory in a

patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease is an expected finding.

8. Laboratory testing is ordered for a male patient during a clinic visit for a routine

follow-up assessment of hypertension. When interpreting lab values, the nurse knows

that

A) a normal value represenNtsUtRheStIesNt reTsuBlts thOat fall within the bell curve.

B) if the lab result is above the 50% distribution, the result is considered elevated.
