Cardiac rehabilitation programs are an example of tertiary prevention because they help patients recover and improve their quality of life after a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or bypass surgery. The other options listed are examples of primary and secondary prevention, which aim to prevent the development of a disease or detect it early to prevent complications, but they do not address an existing condition.

Question 3

What is the most commonly cited definition of health?&#10;A) Health is the absence of disease.&#10;B) Health is a function of the physiological state.&#10;C) Health is a state of well-being involving the whole person.&#10;D) Health is the ability to pursue activities of daily living (ADLs).

Accepted Answer

The most commonly cited definition of health is "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). This aligns with choice C, which states that health is a state of well-being involving the whole person. Choice A, which states that health is the absence of disease, is too narrow of a definition as it does not take into account the overall well-being of an individual. Choice B, which states that health is a function of the physiological state, is also too narrow as it solely focuses on the physical aspects of health and disregards mental and social aspects. Choice D, which states that health is the ability to pursue activities of daily living, is also too narrow as it does not encompass the whole person and their overall well-being.

Question 4

The nurse incorporates levels of prevention as based on client needs and the type of nursing care provided.Which one of the following nursing activities is an example of tertiary level preventive caregiving?

A) Teaching a patient how to irrigate a new temporary colostomy
B) Providing a lesson on hygiene for an elementary school class
C) Informing a client that immunizations for her infant are available through the health department
D) Arranging for a hospice nurse to visit with the family of a client with cancer

Accepted Answer

Tertiary prevention involves providing care to clients who already have a health condition in order to prevent complications or further deterioration. Hospice care is an example of tertiary prevention as it focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals with terminal illnesses and their families. Teaching a patient how to irrigate a new temporary colostomy (A) is an example of secondary prevention as it involves managing an existing health condition to prevent complications. Providing a lesson on hygiene for an elementary school class (B) is an example of primary prevention as it aims to prevent the occurrence of health problems in the first place. Informing a client that immunizations for her infant are available through the health department (C) is also an example of primary prevention as it aims to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases.

Question 5

Which of the following statements would help the nurse to best discuss the impact of a known risk factor on a client's health?&#10;A) &#34;It doesn't mean that you'll get the disease, just that the odds are greater for you.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;Now that you know the possibility is there, you can take steps to prevent it.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;This risk factor can be managed by making a change to your lifestyle.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;You're lucky because you have the benefit of being able to do something about it.&#34;

Accepted Answer

This statement accurately conveys that having a risk factor increases the likelihood of developing a disease but does not guarantee it, which is important for understanding risk.
