children more vulnerable

A

Body systems are still rapidly developing.

o Eat, drink, and breathe more in proportion to their body size than do adults.
o Breathing zone is closer to the ground compared with adults.
o Bodies may be less able to break down and excrete contaminants.
o Behaviors can expose them to more contaminants.

Q

Environmental injustice, be able to define it and give an example of some type of
environmental injustice and how that impacts health outcomes.

A

Environmental justice is the belief that no group of people should bear a
disproportionate share of negative environmental health consequences regardless
of race, culture, or income.
o Most farmers are Hispanic. The pesticides from the farm exposes them to health
risks. They also tend to live on the farm. This exposes their families to illness.
Being ill can then take away from their job leaving them financially unstable.

healthcare interventions.

Q

What is implicit bias? How can this affect the nursing care you provide?

A

Implicit bias is when you are unaware of a negative attitude that you have for
someone. You judge them based on this bias and don’t even realize it which in
turn can affect your patient care.

75
Q

What is a health disparity, what are some of the causes, and what might be an
upstream approach to this problem.

A

A health disparity is when there is a difference in health outcomes when
comparing two populations. Some causes may be race, discrimination, social
inequality related to resources. Access to healthy food, education, literacy.
Upstream thinking example a community have higher rates of heart disease or
diabetes. Upstream thinking would be to provide healthier food options to that
population. Or provide education about food to the community. Something that
targets the problem before it’s a problem.

76
Q

What is are the stages in the transtheoretical change model, and how can you use
this model when using motivational interviewing communication skills?

Precontemplation, not thinking about the problem.
o Contemplation knows it’s a problem but still doing it.
o Preparation, bad weighs more than the good.
o Action, change.
o Maintenance, >6 months, change is easy, less cravings.
o Relapse, return to using.
o Using the change model, you can gage with a patient where they are in the
process of changing something. Asking open ended questions to assist the person,
meeting them where they are at but also exploring things to help guide them.

117
Q

Discuss the Tuskegee syphilis trial.

A

 1932 US Public Health Service began longitudinal- experimental study of 600
AA sharecroppers.
 399 had syphilis & 201 did not.
 Conducted in one of the poorest counties of Alabama.
 They were unaware of Syphilis – told it was “bad blood”.
 Enticed by free medical care and meals - joined without understanding.
 Even when PCN became available they did not treat them —They monitored
them for 40 years to watch progression of disease,
o Many died, many children born with Congenital syphilis.
 1972 Peter Buxtun “Blew the Whistle” on the study by putting in the
newspaper.
 10-million-dollar class action.

118
Q

Pick a related topic about Health literacy, informed consent, withholding
medical treatment, or disparity against low socioeconomic and racial
factors. Discuss how this led to many individuals having a lack of trust
with government and healthcare.

A

Informed consent: It is nurses’ duty according to the ANA code of
ethics to fully disclose all information to participants related to
research and it is the given right to drop out or withdraw a t any times.
It is very unethical to not tell the participants they had the disease and
go on for over 40 years while their family member got the disease at
well.

119
Q

TB How is it spread? (Transmission)

A

Tb is a droplet nucleus so that means is spreads in the air. When people
cough, sneeze or encounter upper respiratory fluids it can be spread

from person to person. It is also suspended in the air longer so that is
why a respirator is needed when you encounter an infected person.

120
Q

TB S/s

A

Fatigue, fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss, cough that lasts 3
weeks or longer, coughing up blood.

121
Q

TB who is t risk

A

HIV patients or people with weakened immune system- diabetics,
chronic renal failure. People in jail or share needles.

122
Q

Latent vs active TB

A

Laten TB means they test positive for TB but show no symptoms and don’t
feel sick. They can’t spread TB to others and have a normal chest x-ray. They
still need to be medicated for the disease, so it doesn’t progress into active TB.
o Active TB means the patient is currently showing symptoms.

123
Q

The four core medications used for treatment for TB and what you would
monitor or educate your patient about.

A

o Pyrazinamide
 gout, especially in patients with diabetes and kidney disease- monitor
uric acid.
o Ethambutol
 vision problems, peripheral neuropathy damage to nerves – numbness.
o Rifampin
 Turns body fluids orange, stains soft contact lens, less effective birth
control, no alcohol, liver issues, sunburns easily.

o Isoniazid INH
 Potential Decreased VIT B6 watch for peripheral neuropathy, tired,
numbness/tingling.

124
Q

Provide one example of a population who would show signs of a positive
tuberculin skin test at 5mm or greater, 10mm or greater and 15mm or greater.

A

5mm+
 HIV pts, pts with an organ transplant, immunosuppressed pts
o 10mm+
 People in countries where the disease is common, Mexico, Vietnam,
pts who abuse drugs, live or work I high risk congregate setting, low
body weight, kids younger than 5.

o 15mm+
 Pts with no none risk factors.
