Question 1

The inability to carry out relevant roles due to the social impact of either a physical impairment or a functional limitation is known as which of the following?&#10;A) Disorder&#10;B) Disease&#10;C) Disability&#10;D) Distress

Accepted Answer

Disability refers to the limitations on an individual's ability to perform certain roles or tasks due to physical impairments or functional limitations, often in a social context. This definition aligns with the concept of disability as it is understood in medical, social, and legal discussions.

Question 2

Which of the following is a condition that is &#34;age related&#34; rather than &#34;ageing related&#34;?&#10;A) Cardiomyopathy&#10;B) Osteoarthritis&#10;C) Presbyopia&#10;D) Presbycusis

Accepted Answer

Cardiomyopathy can occur at any age and is not specifically related to the ageing process, unlike the other conditions listed which are more directly associated with ageing.

Question 3

Which of the following is a condition that is &#34;ageing related&#34; rather than &#34;age related&#34;?&#10;A) Presbyopia&#10;B) Breast cancer&#10;C) Atherosclerosis&#10;D) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is considered an "ageing related" condition because it directly results from the natural and inevitable process of ageing, specifically the loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye, which typically begins in middle age.

Question 4

Which of the following are mechanisms by which early-onset injuries and illnesses increase the risk of loss of benefits, income, and health? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A) Eligibility for government-sponsored assistance programs&#10;B) Loss of work incentive&#10;C) Loss of the ability to work&#10;D) Development of empathy for others with disabilities&#10;E) Exacerbation of preexisting conditions

Accepted Answer

Early-onset injuries and illnesses can lead to a loss of work incentive (B) due to decreased motivation or depression, loss of the ability to work (C) due to physical or mental impairments, and exacerbation of preexisting conditions (E) as the initial injury or illness may worsen existing health issues. Eligibility for government-sponsored assistance programs (A) is a potential support mechanism rather than a risk of loss, and the development of empathy for others with disabilities (D) is a positive personal growth outcome, not a risk factor for loss of benefits, income, or health.

Question 5

Sadie is a 52-year-old client with chronic back pain caused by an injury at work that has become a permanent disability. Which resources should the nurse help Sadie access benefits from? (Select all that apply.)

A) Veterans Administration
B) Workers' compensation
C) Women, Infants, and Children
D) Social Security Disability Insurance
E) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Accepted Answer

B) Workers' compensation is relevant because Sadie's injury occurred at work. D) Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is appropriate for individuals who cannot work due to a disability.

Question 6

Which of the following is a risk factor for declining health in a woman with a later onset disability?&#10;A) Age of 40 years or older&#10;B) Age of 50 years or older&#10;C) Age of 60 years or older&#10;D) Age of 70 years or older

Accepted Answer

Age of 60 years or older is generally considered a risk factor for declining health, especially in individuals with disabilities, due to the increased likelihood of age-related health issues.

Question 7

Which of the following is a risk factor for declining health in a woman with a disability?&#10;A) Early onset of menopause&#10;B) Late onset of menopause&#10;C) Early onset of menarche&#10;D) Late onset of menarche

Accepted Answer

Early onset of menopause is associated with various health risks, including increased risk for osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions, which can further complicate the health of a woman with a disability.

Question 8

Which of the following is a risk factor for declining health in a woman with a disability?&#10;A) Having only seven teeth left&#10;B) Having had a root canal early in life&#10;C) Having a dental implant&#10;D) Wearing dentures

Accepted Answer

Having only seven teeth left can significantly impact nutrition and overall health, as it may limit the types of food a person can eat, leading to nutritional deficiencies and associated health problems.

Question 9

To avoid a decline in health related to a sedentary lifestyle, the nurse should encourage Doris, a 63-year-old woman who is blind, to engage in planned physical activity at least for how many days per week?

A) 1
B) 3
C) 5
D) 7

Accepted Answer

The general recommendation for adults, including older adults, is to engage in moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week, which can be achieved through activity on most, preferably all, days of the week. This often translates to about 30 minutes on at least 5 days a week, but aiming for activity on 3 days a week is a good starting point for someone who may not be currently active, ensuring a balance between rest and physical activity. For someone like Doris, who is blind, it's crucial to start with a manageable routine that considers her specific needs and capabilities.

Question 10

Which condition is a risk factor for declining health in a woman with a disability?&#10;A) Dementia&#10;B) Dyslexia&#10;C) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder&#10;D) Obsessive?compulsive disorder

Accepted Answer

Dementia can lead to a significant decline in health, especially in individuals with disabilities, as it affects cognitive functions and can impair the ability to manage other health-related issues.
