Exam 1 Flashcards
Applied research
Done to directly affect clinical practice -
stressed the use of the best evidence available to answer clinical questions and explore the next best evidence when appropriate
Asset planning
A planning approach that helps to focus the family members and their providers on the building blocks for their future
- Focuses on the assets/strengths of the individual, the family, and the community, applying those assets to improve/maintain the current level of functioning
Community-based care
Provided in nontraditional health care settings in the community
- Care provided in the home
Epidemiology
The study of health and disease in society
Ethnocentrism
Assuming that your own perspective is correct and others’ aren’t
Functional health
Multiple factors contributing to a person’s perception of his/her health
Health promotion
Process of advocating health to enhance the probability that personal, private, and public support of positive health practices will become a social norm
- Personal: individual, family, & community
- Private: professional & business
- Public: federal, state, & local government
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
Multiple factors contributing to a person’s perception of his or her health
- Same definition as functional health
Interprofessional practice
Collaboration within the health care system with other nurses, physicians, social workers, nutritionists, psychologists, therapists, individuals, and community groups
Person-centered care
Individual responsibilities and lifestyle choices
Qualitative studies
Describe phenomena or define the historical nature, cultural relevance, or philosophical basis of aspects of nursing care
Quantitative studies
DEFINE situations, correlate different variables related to care, or test casual relationships between variables related to care
Wellness-illness continuum
Dichotomized (divided) portrayal of health and illness ranging from high-level wellness at the positive end to depletion of health at the negative end
High-level wellness
Sense of well being, life satisfaction, and quality of life
- Progression toward a higher level of functioning
- Emphasizes interrelationship between environment and health on personal and societal level
- A person can have a terminal disease and be emotionally prepared for death
Negative end
Includes adaptation to disease and disability through various levels of functional ability
Social ecological model
View of health at individual, family, community, and societal levels
Social determinants of health
Factors in society that have an influence on health
Ecological model of health
Adaptation and eudemonia (self-actualization)
Clinical model of health
People may not seek preventative health services or may wait until they’re very ill to seek care
- Health: absence of signs and symptoms of disease
- Illness: presence of signs and symptoms of disease
Role performance model of health
Basis for occupational health evaluations, school physical examinations, & physician-excused absences
- Health: based on whether a person can perform societal roles
- Illness: failure to perform roles at the level of others in society
Adaptive model of health
Ability to adapt positively to change
Eudaemonistic model of health
Exuberant well-being interaction and interrelationships in multiple aspects of life - interdisciplinary focus

- Healthy eating school-based programs
- Reduction of sodium in food supply
- Creating bike/walking paths
Primary prevention
Interventions before disease/dysfunction occurs
- Immunizations
- Lifestyle changes
- Reducing exposure to carcinogens
- Reducing occupational hazards
Secondary prevention
Early diagnosis, prompt treatment, disability limitation - applied to individuals/populations with disease
- Screenings
- Treating early stages of disease
Tertiary prevention
Maximizing remaining capacity to prevent complications/deterioration
- Rehabilitating highest level of function for stroke patients
