Health - ANSWER a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Illness - ANSWER a state in which a person's physical, emotional, intellectual,
social, developmental, or spiritual functioning is diminished or impaired
acute - ANSWER short duration & severe
chronic - ANSWER persists longer than 6 months
Health promotion - ANSWER the process of enabling people to increase control
over, and to improve, their health
Primary prevention - ANSWER True prevention that lowers the chances that a
disease will develop
secondary prevention - ANSWER Screening
Focuses on those who have health problems or illnesses and are at risk for
developing complications or worsening conditions
tertiary prevention - ANSWER Restoration/Disease Management
Occurs when a defect or disability is permanent or irreversible
optimization of health - ANSWER Maintain high-level wellness, prevent illness,
early detection and management of disease
Enculturation - ANSWER cultural competence/sensitivity to varying cultures
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - ANSWER used to understand the
interrelationships of basic human needs
Holistic health model - ANSWER attempts to create conditions that promote
optimal health
Individual assessment - ANSWER Age, health status, presence of risk factors,
health preferences and values, social relationships
Family Assessment - ANSWER Risk factors, family strengths, relationships
among family members, genetics
, community assessment - ANSWER Structure of community, community census,
population demographics, morbidity/mortality statistics, community resources

4. action
5. maintenance
Illness behavior - ANSWER Involves how people monitor their bodies and define
and interpret their symptoms
internal & external variables
Gas exchange - ANSWER the process by which oxygen is transported to cells
and carbon dioxide is transported from cells
respiratory physiology - ANSWER The exchange of respiratory gases occurs
between the environment and the blood
Respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during cellular
metabolism
The airways of the lung transfer oxygen from the atmosphere to the alveoli,
where the oxygen is exchange for carbon dioxide
Through the alveolar capillary membrane, oxygen transfers to the blood, and
carbon dioxide transfers from the blood to the alveoli
Ventillation - ANSWER movement of air into and out of the lungs
Perfusion - ANSWER The ability of the cardiovascular system to pump
oxygenated blood to the tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the lungs
The flow of blood through arteries and capillaries, delivering nutrients and
oxygen to cells
Diffusion - ANSWER Exchange of respiratory gases in the alveoli and capillaries
respiratory gas exchange
Lung Volumes - ANSWER tidal, residual, forced vital capacity
pulmonary circulation - ANSWER moves blood to and from the alveolar capillary
membranes for gas exchange
work of breathing - ANSWER inspiration and expiration
surfactant, compliance, atelectasis
neural regulation of respiration - ANSWER Central nervous system controls the
respiratory rate, depth, and rhythm.
Cerebral cortex regulates the voluntary control of respiration.
