NR 222-Health and Wellness-Exam 1 review
Gordons functional health patterns
-provides a context for collecting data that provide info about the entire person and most life processes -nurses can accurately determine and diagnose actual/potential problems ,intervene more effectively and facilitate movement towards outcomes to promote health and well being -provides strong focus for more effective nursing interventions and outcomes 11 functional health patterns
Secondary prevention
-ranges from providing screening activities and treating early stages of disease to limiting disability by averting or delaying the consequences of advanced disease Goal- identify individuals in early,detectable stages of disease -treating early stages of disease -limiting disability -interventions similar to primary but applied to individuals / populations with disease
WHO definition of health
-state of complete, physical, metal, and social well being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Maintenance
-the period beginning 6 months after action has started and continuing indefinitely (sustaining the change over time)
Action
-the person has made a behavior change and it has persisted for a period of 6 months (actively engaged in behavior change)
Pre contemplation
-the person is NOT thinking about or considering quiting or adapting a behavior change within the next 6 months (not intending to make changes)
Contemplation
-the person is seriously considering making a specific behavior change within the next 6 months (considering change)
Planning/prep

Goal of educating others
-to achieve the optimal levels of health
variables/risk factors
-variables influence how a person thinks and acts -health beliefs and practices are influenced by internal and external variables and should be considered when planning care
Healthy people 2020
-was a call to action and an attempt to set health goal for US for the next 10 years -national guidelines to promote health -->define national emphasis for health promotion and disease prevention efforts *4 overeaching goals 1. attain high quality,longer lives, free of preventable disease , disability ,injury and pre mature death 2.achieve healthy equity ,eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups 3. create social and physical environment that promotes good health for all 4. promote quality of life , healthy development and health behaviors across all life stages
Evidence based practice

environment
-where we live/conditions -air,water, soil -what we eat, ability to adapt, physical environment (work place, where u live) polluted? by factories?

eudaimonistic model
-exuberant well being indicates optimal health -emphasizes the interactions b/w physical, social, psychological and spiritual aspects of life and the environment that contribute to goal attainment and create meaning -illness reflected by lack of involvement in life
Relapse
-going back to old habits
Clinical model
-health is defined by the absence and illness by conspicious presence of signs and symptoms of disease -people may not seek preventative health services or they may wait until they are very ill to seek care -absence of disease ,prevention not emphasized
healer
-helps individuals integrate and balance peoples lives -helps person develop own capacity to heal
Definition of health education
-is a vital component in promoting individual and community health -involves not only providing relevant info but also facilitating health related behavior change *is any combination of planned learning ,experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups and communities with the opportunity to aquire the info and skills needed to make quality health decisions
Definition of Illness
-is composed of the subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of the disease -can be described as a responsise characterized by a mismatch b/w a persons needs and the resources available to meet those needs *subjective experience of individual and physical manifestation of disease
Transtheoretical model of change (TTM)
-is useful for determining where a person is in relation to making a behavior chanage;readiness for change -is useful in determining the persons readiness for learning in relation to changing behavior so that health education or behavior change interventions can be matched to the stage -self efficacy is a key construct in this model 6 stages
Definition of Health
-more than an absence of disease -ability to fulfill roles -adaption and rxn to environment -is a state of being that people define in relation to their own values, personality and lifestyle
advocate
-nurse makes sure that all people receive high quality ,appropriate , safe ,cost effective care -want the best for patient

adaptive model
-peoples ability to adjust (+) to social, mental and physiological change in the measure of their health -illness occurs if person fails to adapt
genetic and physiological factors
-physical functioning of body -pregnant/overweight/stress,heredity,age,physical env, and lifestyle
Primary prevention
-precedes disease/dysfunction *interventions --health promotion(ex:health edu about risk factors for heart disease) --health protection( ex:immunizations, reducing exposure to carcinogens,occupational hazards) Purpose-to decrease vulnerability of the individual/pop to disease/dysfunction focus-maintain/improve general/individual/family/community health Passive-not personally involved (public health efforts-clean water/sewer) Active-personally involved-lifestyle changes

The client who would be least likely to participate in health teaching activities would choose which model? A. Clinical model B. Adaptive model C. Role performance model D. Eudaimonistic model
A. Clinical model The clinical model of health has the absence of signs and symptoms of disease as indicative of health. People who use this model of health to guide their use of health care services may not seek preventative health services, or they may wait until they are very ill to seek care. Personal responsibility for health may not be a motivating factor for this individual because the provider is responsible for dealing with the health problem and returning the person to a state of health. Attempts at health-promoting activities may not be effective with this person. The role performance model has the ability to perform social roles as indicative of health. This model is the basis for work and school physical examinations and physician-excused absences. The adaptive model of health has the ability to adapt positively to social, mental, and physiological changes indicative of health. The eudaimonistic model of health uses exuberant well-being as indicative of health. This model is also more congruent with integrative modes of therapy.

Nurses in the school setting can participate in health promotion activities through creating nut-free schools. This would protect hypersensitive children from life-threatening allergic reactions to peanuts and other nut products. This type of program is an example of which of the following interventions? A. Primary B. Secondary C. Tertiary D. Emergent
A. Primary Primary prevention interventions are considered health protection when they emphasize shielding or defending the body (or the public) from specific causes of injury or disease. An example is creating nut-free schools to protect hypersensitive children from life-threatening allergic reactions to peanut and other nut products. Such initiatives have largely been the result of grassroots parent organizations working with formal community organizations to adopt policies that protect the health of these children. Nurses may be involved in the parent organizations or the school or public health boards that review the proposed policies. Secondary prevention ranges from providing screening activities and treating early stages of disease to limiting disability by averting or delaying the consequences of advanced disease. Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. Emergent care is not associated with health promotion activities.

When assessing the older adult for sleep quality, the nurse expects to find that the person will state: A. "I continue to be a night owl." B. "I experience difficulty returning to sleep." C. "I experience a night of deep sleep." D. "I rarely wake up during the night."
B. "I experience difficulty returning to sleep." Most difficulties associated with sleep are amenable to nursing therapies. Frequent awakenings do not necessarily imply sleep interruption. Many individuals may awaken numerous times during the night but return to sleep within seconds. This may be especially true of older adults who generally spend most of the night in stages of light sleep. Their normal developmental pattern does not include deep sleep; therefore, awakenings may not affect the sleep cycles and resultant feelings after awakening in the morning. More commonly, older adult individuals experience difficulty returning to sleep because they experience discomfort, fears, or other variables.
The nurse is developing a health promotion program on healthy eating and exercise for high school students using the health belief model as a framework.

"The statistics of how many teenagers are overweight is scary." D. "I've decided to start a walking club at school for interested students."
B. "I'm worried about becoming overweight and getting diabetes because my father has diabetes." The statement indicates that the patient is concerned about developing diabetes and believes that there is a risk or susceptibility based on recognition of a familial link for the disease. Once this link is recognized, the patient may perceive the personal risk for diabetes.
A patient comes to the local health clinic and states: "I've noticed how many people are out walking in my neighborhood. Is walking good for you?"

Do you think you could go for a 5-minute walk next week?" C. "Yes, I want you to begin walking. Walk for 30 minutes every day and start to eat more fruits and vegetables." D. "They probably aren't walking fast enough or far enough. You need to spend at least 45 minutes if you are going to do any good."
B. "Yes, walking is great exercise. Do you think you could go for a 5-minute walk next week?" The patient's response indicates that the patient is in the contemplative state, possibly intending to make a behavior change within the next 6 months. The nurse's statement reinforces the behavior and provides a specific goal for the patient to begin a walking plan.

The nurse is preparing education on prevention of urinary tract infections. A principle emphasized in the teaching plan would be: A. Decreasing oral intake facilitates urinary dilution. B. Empty the bladder at the first sensation of fullness. C. Frequency is a common symptom that can be ignored. D. Increasing time between urinations decreases the risk of infection.
B. Empty the bladder at the first sensation of fullness. The nurse uses evidence-based practice to guide his or her practice. Emptying the bladder as soon as bladder sensation of fullness occurs is a practice that decreases the time the urine remains in the bladder, thus decreasing the chance for bacterial growth to occur. Decreasing oral intake will cause the urine to become concentrated. Urinary frequency is a symptom seen with urinary tract infections. Research indicates that delayed time between urinations is associated with increased incidence of urinary tract infection.
A theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships, and assumptions that: A. Formulate legislation. B. Explain a phenomenon. C. Measure nursing functions. D. Reflect the domain of nursing practice.
B. Explain a phenomenon. Theories are designed to explain a phenomenon such as self-care or caring. A theory is a way of seeing through a "set of relatively concrete and specific concepts" and the propositions that describe or link the concepts.

The nurse assesses the following risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in a male patient. Which factors are classified as genetic and physiological? (Select all that apply.) A. Sedentary lifestyle B. Father died from CAD at age 50 C. History of hypertension D. Eats diet high in sodium E. Elevated cholesterol level F. Age is 44 years
B. Father died from CAD at age 50 C. History of hypertension E. Elevated cholesterol level F. Age is 44 years Genetic and physiological risk factors include those related to heredity, genetic predisposition to an illness, or those that involve the physical functioning of the body. Certain physical conditions such as being pregnant or overweight place increased stress on physiological systems (e.g., the circulatory system), increasing susceptibility to illness in these areas. A person with a family history of coronary artery disease is at risk for developing the disease later in life because of a hereditary and genetic predisposition to the disease.
The nurse is teaching about primary prevention and includes which educational statement in the instructions? A. Everyone should participate in colorectal cancer screening. B. Health teaching about the risk factors of heart disease should be performed. C. Limiting disability is a vital role of nursing since preventive measures are therapeutic. D. The nurse is involved in minimizing the effects of disease and disability by surveillance and maintenance.
B. Health teaching about the risk factors of heart disease should be performed. Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. Primary prevention intervention includes health promotion, such as health teaching about risk factors for heart disease, and specific protection, such as immunization against hepatitis B. Its purpose is to decrease the vulnerability of the individual or population to disease or dysfunction. People are taught to use appropriate primary preventive measures. Screening is secondary prevention because the principle goal is to identify individuals in an early, detectable stage of the disease process. Delayed recognition of disease results in the need to limit future disability in late secondary prevention. Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. The process is minimizing the effects the disease and disability by surveillance and maintenance activities aimed at preventing complications and deterioration.

She discusses removing the rugs and footstool and improving the lighting with the couple. The nurse is addressing which level of need according to Maslow? A. Physiological B. Safety and security C. Love and belonging D. Self-actualization
B. Safety and security The teaching addresses the need for safety and security. The throw rugs, low lighting, and low stool are hazards that can cause falls in the elderly. Preventing falls is a priority safety issue for older adults.
The nurse assesses a community for evidence of health-promotion strategies. Which of the following are health-promotion strategies? (select all that apply) A. Seeking primary care in the acute care hospital B. Self-care for minor illness C. Entry into acute care facilities to manage chronic illness D. Environmental changes to enhance clean air E. Supporting Habitat for Humanity house construction
B. Self-care for minor illness D. Environmental changes to enhance clean air E. Supporting Habitat for Humanity house construction Health-promotion strategies go beyond providing information. It is proactive decision making at all levels of society. Strategies identified within this decision-making process are screening, self-care for minor illness, readiness for emergencies, successful management of chronic illness, environmental changes to enhance positive behaviors, and health-enhancing policies within an organizational setting. Health-promotion efforts focus on maintaining or improving the general health of individuals, families, and communities through support of housing at the public and community level; and at the personal level by voting and volunteering for improved low-income housing.
The nurse is performing an initial antepartal assessment on a woman who has missed two periods. Assessment of this woman for alcohol consumption is best determined by the: A. CAGE test. B. T-ACE test. C. non-stress test. D. protein dipstick test.
B. T-ACE test. The T-ACE test provides a much more sensitive measure of alcohol intake patterns than that derived from the CAGE test. The T-ACE test considers the following assessment criteria: • How many drinks does it Take to make you feel high? • Have you ever been Annoyed by people criticizing your drinking? • Have you ever felt you ought to Cut down your drinking? • Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (Eye Opener) to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover? The CAGE test considers data collected from the client on Cutting down on drinking, being Annoyed by criticism of drinking, feeling Guilty about drinking, and using alcohol as an Eye opener. The non-stress test evaluates the fetal heart rate response to fetal movement, which is assessed after the fetus is 20 weeks or more. The protein dipstick is performed at each prenatal visit and measures the amount of protein in the client's urine. Proteinuria is a symptom seen with pre-eclampsia.
Four distinct models have been used to describe concepts of health. Which of the following statements accurately describes some of the models used? (select all that apply) A. In the clinical health model, health and illness are defined by signs and symptoms of disease. B. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to perform social roles. C. The clinical model is the basis for occupational health evaluations. D. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and physiological change is the measure of their health. E. In the eudaimonistic model, exuberant well-being indicates optimal health.
B. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to perform social roles. D. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and physiological change is the measure of their health. E. In the eudaimonistic model, exuberant well-being indicates optimal health. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to perform social roles. Role performance includes work, family, and social roles, with performance based on societal expectations. Illness would be the failure to perform roles at the level of others in society. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and physiological change is the measure of their health. Illness occurs when the person fails to adapt or becomes maladaptive to these changes. In the eudaimonistic model, exuberant well-being indicates optimal health. This model emphasizes the interactions between physical, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life and the environment that contribute to goal attainment and create meaning. In the clinical model, health is defined by the absence, and illness by the conspicuous presence, of signs and symptoms of disease. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to perform social roles. This model is the basis for occupational health evaluations.
The nurse is planning to teach a patient about the importance of exercise. When is the best time for teaching to occur? (Select all that apply.) A. When there are visitors in the room B. When the patient's pain medications are working C. Just before lunch, when the patient is most awake and alert D. When the patient is talking about current stressors in his or her life

B. exercises should be repetitive. Exercise is a type of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive, and performed to improve or maintain physical fitness. Active social activities such as backyard softball or golf would be considered physical activity. Activities such as jogging, walking, or gym workouts would be considered exercise. Sedentary social activities such as bingo, reading, knitting, stamp collection, cards, or participation in discussion groups would not be considered physical activity.
The nurse, teaching a class on primary prevention at a women's health club, emphasizes participation in: A. physician visits during illness. B. recommended immunization schedules. C. taking antibiotics at the first sign of symptoms. D. water aerobics to develop muscle building.
B. recommended immunization schedules. Primary prevention is a concept central to nursing and includes generalized health promotion and specific protection from disease. Health promotion connotes an active process involving specific protections, including immunizations, occupational safety, and environmental control, along with a set of behaviors that enhances health. Physician visits that promote health promotion focus on screening and wellness visits that include teaching on preventative health practices. Antibiotics should only be taken when there is evidence of an infection. Water aerobics focuses on flexibility, not muscle building.
Role performance model
Based on whether the person can perform their societal roles Illness = failure to perform roles at the level of others in society

"That's fine. Exercise is bad for you anyway." B. "OK. I want you to walk 3 miles 4 times a week, and I'll see you in 1 month." C. "I understand. Can you think of one reason why being more active would be helpful for you?" D. "I'd like you to ride your bike 3 times this week and eat at least four fruits and vegetables every day."
C. "I understand. Can you think of one reason why being more active would be helpful for you?" The patient's response indicates that the patient is in the precontemplation stage and does not intend to change his behavior in the next 6 months. In this stage the patient is not interested in information about the behavior and may be defensive when confronted with it. Asking an open-ended question may stimulate the patient to identify a reason to begin a behavior change. Nurses are challenged to motivate and facilitate change in health behavior when working with individuals.
Evidence-based practice is defined as: A. Nursing care based on tradition B. Scholarly inquiry of nursing and biomedical research literature C. A problem-solving approach that integrates best current evidence with clinical practice D. Quality nursing care provided in an efficient and economically sound manner

A patient experienced a myocardial infarction 4 weeks ago and is currently participating in the daily cardiac rehabilitation sessions at the local fitness center. In what level of prevention is the patient participating? A. Primary prevention B. Secondary prevention C. Tertiary prevention D. Quaternary prevention
C. Tertiary prevention Tertiary prevention involves minimizing the effects of long-term disease or disability by interventions directed at preventing complications and deterioration following the myocardial infarction. Tertiary-prevention activities are directed at rehabilitation rather than diagnosis and treatment. Care at this level aims to help patients achieve as high a level of functioning as possible, despite the limitations caused by illness or impairment. This level of care is called preventive care because it involves preventing further disability or reduced functioning.

D. Search for help with interpretation and understanding of the cultural differences by contacting someone from the local Greek community The nurse needs to understand how the Greek culture impacts the father's health beliefs and communication with health care providers. Cultural variables must be incorporated into the child's plan of care. Cultural background influences beliefs, values, and customs. It influences the approach to the health care system, personal health practices, and the nurse-patient relationship. Cultural background may also influence an individual's beliefs about causes of illness and remedies or practices to restore health. If nurses are not aware of their own and other cultural patterns of behavior and language, they may not be able to recognize and understand a patient's behavior and beliefs and may have difficulty interacting with the patient.

When teaching about proper nutrition to a person with congestive heart failure, which affective component should be included in the educational plan? A. Eating with someone B. Food preparation techniques C. Knowledge of dietary restrictions D. Values of adhering to the diet
D. Values of adhering to the diet The affective component of education addresses the attitudes and values the person believes regarding the education and how it will apply to his or her life beliefs. If the person values the education, it will be more likely to be followed as opposed to if the person finds that the education is not congruent with his or her values. Even when the person possesses the knowledge base, assessment of whether the individual also values the importance of adhering to the modifications in lifestyle is vital.
Public health nurses are involved in supporting active health promotion strategies such as: A. supporting clean water. B. advocating for vitamin D in all milk. C. supporting sanitary sewage systems. D. participating in an individual daily exercise program.
D. participating in an individual daily exercise program. Health-promotion strategies are either active or passive. Passive strategies involve the individual as an inactive participant or recipient. Examples of passive strategies include public health efforts to maintain clean water and sanitary sewage systems, and efforts to introduce vitamin D in all milk to ensure that children will not be at risk for rickets when there is little sunlight. Active strategies depend on the individual becoming personally involved in adopting a proposed program of health promotion. Examples of lifestyle changes are daily exercise as part of a physical fitness plan and a stress-management program as part of daily living.
