NR 442 - Exam 1
Active Immunity –
ANS-- Natural contact and infection with the antigen
- acquiring measles
Affordable Care Act –
ANS-- access to preventative care
- allows child to be on parent's health care until 26
- decrease out of pocket spending on health care
- treats disease you already have
Aggregate Impact on Health –
ANS-- increased population
- increased population density
- imbalanced human ecology (resulted in changes in cultural adaption)
Aggregates –
ANS-- subgroups or subpopulations that have some common characteristics or
concerns
- ex: pregnant teens in a school district
ANA - Code of Ethics –
ANS-promotes social reform by focusing on health policy and legislation to positively
affect accessibility, quality, and cost of health care.
Analytic Epidemiology –
ANS-investigates the causes of disease by determining why a disease rate is lower in
one population group than in another.
Attenuated –
ANS-created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it viable
Childhood Obesity –
ANS-- focus on a healthier lifestyle
- reduce the rate the childhood obesity
- education
Chronic vs Acute (prevalence) –
ANS-chronic always has a higher prevalence than acute disease
Community –
, ANS-- a group of people who share something in common and interact with one
another, who may exhibit a commitment with one another and may share a geographic
boundary
- PRIMARY FOCUS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Community Assessment Parameters –
ANS-- Physical Environment
- Recreation
- Economics
- Communication
- Health and Social Service
- Politics and Government
- Safety and Transportation
- Education
Community Diagnosis –
ANS-- health problem
- people at risk
- cause
- evidence to support diagnosis
Community/Population Level of Practice Example –
ANS-public health nurses working with area high schools to give each student a profile
of his or her health to promote nutritional and physical activity lifestyle changes to
improve the student's health.
Core Functions of Public Health –
ANS-- assessment
- policy development
- assurance of availability
Crude Rate –
ANS-- summarize the occurrence of births (i.e., crude birth rate), mortality (i.e., crude
death rates), or diseases (i.e., crude disease rates) in the general population.
- The numerator is the number of events, and the denominator is the average
population size
Demographic Data –
ANS-- Age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education level
- found in a census
Descriptive Epidemiology –
ANS-- focuses on the amount and distribution of health and health problems within a
population
- describe the characteristics of both people who are protected from disease and those
who have a disease
