,porth's pathophysiology concepts of altered health 10th edition


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 cooking classes
d) providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from
their hemodialysis sessions
e) providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young
children
answer: 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.
answer: 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.
answer: d
