21. primary prevention ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER Ettorts to prevent an injury or illness from ever occurring. Vaccinations
22. tertiary prevention ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER actions taken to contain damage once a disease or disability has progressed beyond its early stages.
Therapies
23. Homeostasis ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as
blood glucose, around a particular level
, 24. Allostasis ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER process by which the body achieves stability through physiological change
25. GAS stages of stress ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER -alarm
-resistance
-exhaustion
26. alarm stage of GAS ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER organism recognizes stress, begins to respond. Fight or flight and sympathetic nervous system
engages
epinephrine and norepinephrine
27. resistance stage of GAS ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER second stage;
body functions normalize while responding to the stressor. The body attempts to cope with the stressor normalization/resolution of glucocorticoid secretion, fight or flight, and
secretions and epinephrine and norepineph-rine.
28. Exhaustion stage of GAS ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER third stage;
if the client reaches this stage, body functions are no longer able to maintain an adaptive response to the stressor increased glucocorticoid secretions followed by dysregulation
ALLOSTATIC OVERLOAD
29. Epinephrine ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER Enhances myocardialcontractility, increases heartrate, and increases cardiacoutput
ªCauses bronchodilation
ªIncreases the release ofglucose from the liver(glycogenolysis) andelevates blood glucoselevels
30. Norepinephrine ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER ªConstricts blood vessels andraises blood pressure
ªReduces gastric secretions
Iªncreases night and farvision (pupil dilation)
31. Cortisol ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER ªPrimary glucocorticoid
ªAttects protein metabolism
ªPromotes appetite
ªHas anti-inflammatoryettects
ªToo much cortisol over timecan lead to pro-inflammatory ettects
32. Aldosterone ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER ªPrimary
mineralocorticoid ªPromotes reabsorption ofsodium and water
ªIncreases blood pressure
33. endorphins and enkephalins ✔✔ CORRECT ANSWER •Endogenous opioids (body's natural pain relievers)
