Acute Illness Characteristics - ANSWERS-- Usually self-limiting
- Responds readily to treatment
-Complications infrequent
- After Illness, return to previous level of functioning
Chronic Illness - ANSWERS-Diseases that are prolonged, do not resolve
spontaneously, and are rarely cured completely
Chronic Illness Characteristics - ANSWERS-- Permanent impairments or deviations
from normal
- Irreversible pathologic changes
- Residual Disability
- Special rehabilitation needed
Health Disparities can affect population groups based on - ANSWERS-- gender
- Age
- Ethnicity and Race
- Socioeconomic status
- Education
,- Geographic Location
-Sexual Orientation
- Disability Status
Health Disparities - ANSWERS-Health disparities are differences in the incidence,
prevalence, mortality rate, and burden of disease the exist among specific population
groups
Example of Health Disparity: Sexual Identity - ANSWERS-- Lesbian and Bisexual
women have higher rates of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease
- Gay and bisexual men have higher rates of HIV and viral hepatitis
Example of Health Disparity: Gender - ANSWERS-Woman are less likely to receive
procedures for cardiovascular disease even though they use more health care services
than men
Example of Health Disparity: Age - ANSWERS-Older adults may be less likely to be
offered aggressive treatments for medical problems
Healthcare Provider (HCP) Attitudes - ANSWERS-- HCP attitudes can affect health-
seeking behaviors and are likely to result in less aggressive or negative treatment
practices and delay in diagnosis
What can nurses do to combat health disparities? - ANSWERS-- Use evidence based
clinical guidelines
- Consider the health literacy level of your patients when planning care and treatment,
when explaining medical recommendations, and when handing out written material
- Be sensitive to patient backgrounds and cultures
- Use translation services and provide patient education in patient's language
-Volunteer with nonprofit community based agencies
- Get involved at the local, state, and national level (advocacy through professional
organizations, public policy, etc)
- Encourage workforce diversity
,Disease Prevention - ANSWERS-Prevention includes a wide range of activities- known
as "interventions" - aimed at reducing risks or threats to health
Disease Prevention Stages - ANSWERS-Health care workers describe three
categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary
Primary Prevention - ANSWERS-aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs.
- Done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering
unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury, and increasing
resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur
Examples of Primary Prevention - ANSWERS-- Legislation and enforcement to ban or
control the use of hazardous products (e.g. asbestos)
- Mandate safe and healthy practices (use of seatbelts and bike helmets)
- Education about healthy and safe habits (eating well, exercise, not smoking)
- Immunization against infectious diseases
Secondary prevention - ANSWERS-aims to reduce the impact of a disease or injury that
has already occurred. This is done by detecting and treating disease or injury as soon
as possible to halt or slow its progress, encouraging personal strategies to prevent
reinjury or recurrence, and implementing programs to return people to their original
health and function to prevent long-term problems.
Secondary Prevention- Examples - ANSWERS-- Regular exams, breast or testicular
self-exams andscreening tests to detect disease in its earliest stages(mammograms to
detect breast cancer).
- Maternal and child health screenings to prevent congenital malformations.
- Daily, low-dose aspirins and/or diet and exercise programs to prevent further heart
attacks or strokes
- Suitably modified work so injured or ill workers can return safely to their jobs
, Tertiary Prevention - ANSWERS-aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or
injury that has lasting effects. This is done by helping people manage long-term, often-
complex health problems and injuries (chronic diseases, permanent impairments) to
improve as much as possible their ability to function, their quality of life and their life
expectancy.
Tertiary Prevention- Examples - ANSWERS-- Cardiac or stroke rehabilitation programs,
chronic disease management programs (ex: diabetes, arthritis, depression)•
- Support groups that allow members to share strategies for living well
- Vocational rehabilitation programs to retrain workers for new jobs when they have
recovered as much as possible.

clinical guidelines
- Consider the health literacy level of your patients when planning care and treatment,
when explaining medical recommendations, and when handing out written material
- Be sensitive to patient backgrounds and cultures
- Use translation services and provide patient education in patient's language
-Volunteer with nonprofit community based agencies
- Get involved at the local, state, and national level (advocacy through professional
organizations, public policy, etc)
- Encourage workforce diversity
Transtheoretical Model of Change - ANSWERS-A theory to explain how and why adults
learn
Major Points of TMoC - ANSWERS-- Learning occurs in steps
Motivational Interviewing uses non confrontational interpersonal communication
techniques.
- Readiness for change indicates the kinds of motivational support that are needed
- You should support even the smallest efforts to change.- Patients may be discharged
before they are ready to change
