population - Answers -eg. School of health sciences
aggregate - Answers -Groups that form a population. eg. BCIT student in BSN program
Population health - Answers -Measured by determinants of health (DoH) & health
status indicators Improves the health of populations & decreased inequitiesScope
consists of the following 5 elements -think of these as clients ( individuals, families,
groups, communities, population)
9 key elements of a population health approach - Answers -1. focuses on the health of
populations
2. addresses the determinants of health and their interactions
3. makes decisions based on evidence
4. increases upstream investments
5. applies multiple interventions and strategies
6. collaborates actress sectors and levels
7. employs mechanisms for public involvement
8. establishes partnership with clients and stakeholders
9. demonstrates accountability for health outcomes
Population health: Four sub-concepts - Answers -Health promotion, Illness and injury
prevention, Chronic disease management, Epidemiology
, Nurses' role in population health - Answers -Nurses collaborate with other health care
professionals to address health inequities while keeping the determinants of health in
sight. Methods used by nurses [many more ... sample]: Social justice -acknowledging
injustice & differences, Systemic inequity -working towards reducing this factor, Citizen
engagement -strengthening cohesion by leveraging stakeholders within the health care
system
Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) - Answers -comprehensive approach: Disease
prevention, Community developmentServices and programs, Working in
interprofessional teams, Intersectoral collaboration for healthy public policy
Primary Care - Answers -the first contact between a person and the health care system
[health care providers] usually resulting in a diagnosis of a specific health problem. It
usually refers to the curative treatment of disease, rehabilitation, and preventive
measures such as vaccines, behavioral changes, etc. It may not be intersectoral nor

personal experience and perception of & reaction to a disease. This person is incapable
of functioning at their desired "usual" level of performance
disease - Answers -an objective state of ill health and the pathological process of which
can be detected by medical science. It refers to abnormal changes in the structure or
functioning of the human body that fit with the medical model. Diseases usually follow
an identifiable progression known as the course of a disease. The natural history of
disease depicts this phenomenon in two periods:A) prepathogenesis = no disease is
present but susceptibility to disease existsB) pathogenesis = is a period from early
pathogenesis to convalescence
prepathogenesis - Answers -no disease is present but susceptibility to disease exists
pathogenesis - Answers -is a period from early pathogenesis to convalescence
Medical diagnosis - Answers -MD / NP. Strict protocol as previous slide. Declares that
an individual has a medical diagnosis or a disease
Nursing diagnosis - Answers -Nurses [non NPs]. Describes health care problems via
clinical judgement. Diagnoses actual & potential health problems within the domain of
nursing. More in Nursing Practice. Nurses do NOT diagnose a medical condition or a
disease, unless they are a nurse practitioner
