Aphasia Exam 1 UPDATED Study Guide
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Social Determinants of Health - CORRECT ANSWERS conditions in
the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and
age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality of life outcomes
and risks
Health Inequities - CORRECT ANSWERS systematic differences in the
health status of different population groups and have significant impacts to both
individuals and societies
Health Disparities - CORRECT ANSWERS A difference in health that is
closely linked to
social, economic, or environmental disadvantage. Health
disparities adversely impact groups who have systematically
experienced greater obstacles to health based on characteristics
historically linked to discrimination or exclusion
Stoke Care Continuum: Primordial Prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS
prevention of the development of risk factors for disease (don't smoke, eat well,
exercise, etc)
Stoke Care Continuum: Primary prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS
Individual advice for disease prevention (ex high blood pressure meds for
individual with high blood pressure)
Stoke Care Continuum: Pre-hospital/hyperacute care and inpatient care -
CORRECT ANSWERS Hospital care immediately following a stroke
, Stoke Care Continuum: Secondary stroke prevention, stroke recovery,
community reintegration - CORRECT ANSWERS Recovery following a
stroke after initial hospital care
-black population more likely to continue to have uncontrolled hypertension,
higher tobacco rates in following stroke in black populations, Hispanic and
black stroke survivors more likely to have another stroke within a year and less
likely to achieve Life Simple 7 cardiovascular health metrics
Stroke Risk Factors - CORRECT ANSWERS High blood pressure,
hyperlipidemia, Atrial Fib, diabetes, smoking, substance abuse, personal or
family history of stroke or heart attack, advancing age
Number 1 Risk Factor for Stroke - CORRECT ANSWERS Previous
history of stroke and/or heart attack
Stroke Risk for minorities - CORRECT ANSWERS Black and Hispanic
populations more likely to have uncontrolled/untreated/undiagnosed
hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atrial fib, diabetes
Health Disparities in Stoke Treatment - CORRECT ANSWERS -rates of
tPA use lower in black patients with ischemic stroke
-thrombectomy are lower in Hispanic and black patients
-decision making time (door to needle) longer in black/hispanic populations
Health Disparities in Stroke Recovery - CORRECT ANSWERS
Black/Hispanic populations have poorer functional outcomes
Black stroke survivors have rehab or functional recovery after rehab
There is limited data on other factors influencing impact of quality of life in
stroke survivors
Black stroke survivors have less language recovery than white stroke surviviors
