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




on the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




made by Nursing attendants during a discussion session, which statements would be
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




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




reviews and word games during social time

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




facilities u

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




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




classes u

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




hemodialysissessions gu u
g




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




PRECISE CHOICE:- A, B, C, E
gu gu g u gu gu gu




Reasoning:->>>
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




social well-being and not merely the absence of illness and infirmity.” Engaging in book
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




well-being even though the person has a chronic illness. Handwashing is vitalin the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




prevention of illness and spread of germs.
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




2. A community health Nursing attendant is teaching a group of recent graduates
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




about the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




thereof. The Nursing attendant is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a teaching example. Of the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




following aspects discussed, which would be considered a determinant of health
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




that is outside the focus of this report?
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




A) The hospital patient has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




American descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




of stress. gu gu




B) The hospital patient has a family history of cardiovascular illness related to
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




C) The hospital patient has a good career with exceptional preventative primary health care
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




benefits. gu




D) The hospital patient lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




access tomany primary health care facilities.
gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu




PRECISE CHOICE:- B gu gu




Reasoning:->>>
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




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




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




health care). A hospital patient's noncompliance with treatments to control high
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of CV illness does not meet the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




“attaininglives free of preventable illness and premature death” determinant.

,3. A physician is providing care for a number of hospital patients on a medical unit of a
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




large, university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




differentiation between illnesss that are caused by abnormal molecules and illnesss that
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




cause illness.Which of the following hospital patients most clearly demonstrates the
gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




consequences of molecules that cause illness?
gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




packed red blood cells
u
g gu gu gu




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




familial hypercholesterolemia
u

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




therapy and chest physiotherapy
u
g gu gu gu




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




HIV positive. gu gu




PRECISE CHOICE:- D gu gu




Reasoning :->>>PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




illness. Sicklecell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all
gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




examples of the effects of abnormal molecules.
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




4. A member of the primary health care team is researching the etiology and
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




pathogenesis of a number of hospital patients who are under his care in a hospital
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




context. Which of the following aspects of hospital patients' situations best
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




characterizes pathogenesisrather than etiology?
gu gu u
g gu gu




A) A hospital patient who has been exposed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




B) A hospital patient who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




C) A hospital patient who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




D) A hospital patient with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




vehicleaccident PRECISE CHOICE:- B
gu u
g gu gu g u




Reasoning:->>>Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of illness, gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




such as theincreasing ammonia levels that accompany liver illness. Bacteria, poisons, and
gu gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




5. A new myocardial infarction hospital patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




of the pathogenesis of coronary artery illness is addressed. Which statement by the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




hospital patientverifies to the Nursing attendant that he has understood the Nursing
gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




attendant's teachings about coronary artery illness?
gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




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




French fries every day.”
u
g gu gu gu




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




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




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




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




PRECISE CHOICE:- C gu gu




Reasoning:->>>The true etiology/cause of coronary artery illness (CAD) is unknown; gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




however, the

illness. Risk factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat,
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




and lack of exercise.

6. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inhospital patient admitted for exacerbation of his
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




chronic obstructive pulmonary illness (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




assessing the hospital patient for the first time. Which of the following aspects of the
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




hospital patient's current state ofhealth would be best characterized as a symptom rather
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




than a sign?
gu gu gu




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

D) The hospital patient's respiratory rate is 31 gu gu gu gu gu gu




breaths/minute.PRECISE CHOICE:- B
gu u
g gu g u




Reasoning:->>>Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




problem,such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath
gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




sounds,and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of illness.

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




outcome from the treatment regimen? Select all that apply.

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




illnessPRECISE CHOICE:- A, C
gu u
g gu g u gu




Reasoning:->>>Development of pulmonary emboli and pulmonary fibrosis following gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




chemotherapy areboth examples of a complication (adverse extensions of a illness or
gu gu u
g gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




outcome from treatment). It is normal to expect incisional pain following surgery. As
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




Parkinson illness progresses, the inability to walk independently is expected. This is a
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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




a hospital patient diagnosed with Alzheimer illness is an expected finding.
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




8. Laboratory testing is ordered for a client hospital patient during a clinic visit for a
gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu gu




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

Nursing attendant knows that
gu gu gu gu




A) a normal value represents the test results that fall within the bell curve.

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




C) all lab values are adjusted for gender and weight.
