WHO 1948 definition of health - ANS a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Healthy People 2020 - ANS Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease,
disability, injury, and premature death.
Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.
Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.
Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.
pathophysiology definition - ANS the study of the body's response to dysfunction or disease
disease definition - ANS interruption, cessation, or disorder of bodily functions, systems, or
organs
etiology - ANS causes of disease (what sets disease in motion)
1 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026.
,pathogenesis - ANS how the disease process evolves
morphology - ANS the fundamental structure or form of cells or tissues.
Morphologic changes are concerned with gross anatomic and microscopic changes that are
characteristic of disease
clinical manifestations - ANS signs and symptoms
(example: fever, or pain, or difficulty breathing
diagnosis - ANS the designation as to the nature or cause of health problem
clinical course - ANS the evolution of a disease. Acute/chronic, or
preclinical/subclinical/clinical/carrier.....
Etilogic factors (causes of disease) - ANS •Biologic agents (e.g., bacteria, viruses)
•Physical forces (e.g., trauma, burns, radiation)
•Chemical agents (e.g., poisons, alcohol)
•Nutritional excesses or deficits
reliability - ANS the extent to which an observation, when repeated, gives the same result
2 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026.
, -ex: in ICU setting it has been shown that if you perform oral care Q2H, it prevents occurence of
respiratory infection (evidence based practice- able to prove over and over that this protocol is
reliable)
validity - ANS the extent to which a measurement tool measures what it is intended to
measure
-ex: how did we measure that the sepsis bundle was actually valid
sensitivity and specificity - ANS determining the likelihood or how well the test or
observation identifies people with or without a disease
-ex: blood test that will detect for 23 different types of diseases, cancers
predictive value - ANS the extent to which an observation or test result is able to predict the
presence of a given disease or condition
-ex: measuring a man's PSA, can we use it to predict prostate cancer-> shown to be a good
predictor of disease
Incidence - ANS NEW CASES
•the number of new cases arising in a population at risk during a specified time
Prevalence - ANS EXISTING DISEASE
a measure of existing disease in a population at a given point in time
Morbidity - ANS •describes the effects an illness has on a person's life
