43
source
what’s the contaminate and where did it originate from
44
environmental media.transport
ground water, surface water (lakes, rivers) air, soil, plants, or animals. The environmental medium that the contaminant is in helps determine who is exposed and how they are exposed.
45
point of exposure
the place where people encounter the contaminated medium, which may include food or another item. An exposure point can be a home, a playground, a lake, a business, a cloud of diesel fumes, an abandoned lot, a fish to be eaten, or a park.
46
route of exposure
how the contaminant enters the body via ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact.
47
receptor population
population of people who are likely to be exposed
48
Since experimental designs can’t be used for most environmental studies,
cohort studies, case-control studies, or cluster investigations are generally used for environmental epidemiology.
49
children more vulnerable
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. o Spending time outside home where environmental hazards may be present.
50
Environmental injustice, be able to define it and give an example of some type of environmental injustice and how that impacts health outcomes.
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.
51
Health belief model
perceived seriousness- what will happen to me. Perceived susceptibility- will this happen to me. Perceived benefits of treatment will i not get the condition. Perceived barriers to treatment- what is preventing me from making this change.  Cues to action- what is happening to me.  Self-efficacy- can I do it.

8 principles of public health nursing
1. Client or unit of care is population. a. People are your population. 2. Primary obligation is to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people. a. Do the most good for the greatest number of people. 3. Public health nurses collaborate with the client as an equal partner. a. Client and nurse has open relationship for collaboration. a. Equal partnership between nurse and client. 4. Primary prevention is the priority in selecting appropriate activities. a. Prevention strategies must reflect patient appropriate activities.  a. Prevention is the priority.  5. Public health nursing focuses on strategies that create healthy environment, social, economic condition in which populations may thrive. a. Public health encompasses all aspects of population health and well-being to ensure adequate survival.   a. Ensure all aspects of a group so the people can thrive.  6. A public health nurse is obligated to actively identity and reach out to all who might benefit from a specific activity or service.  a. A public health nurse must reach out to all who could benefit from an activity or service.  a. Reach out to all who could benefit from the service.  7. Optimal use of available resources and creation of new EB strategies is necessary to assure the best overall improvement in health of populations.  a. Must use the best resources and strategies to assure the best improvement in health populations.  a. Uses best resources with EB interventions to best improve.  8. Collaboration with other professionals, populations organizations and stakeholder groups is the most effective way to promote and protect the health of people  a. Working together with organizations, health professionals, populations to achieve common public health goals.  a. Collaboration to promote the health of the people.
64
cultural traditions
Personal preferences, values, family, lifestyles. The shift towards pt/client care means that a broader range of outcomes needs to be measured from the pts perspective to understand the true benefits and risks of healthcare interventions.

What is implicit bias? How can this affect the nursing care you provide?
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
What is a health disparity, what are some of the causes, and what might be an upstream approach to this problem.
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
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.
77
Please list three major changes that have occurred to bring about change to the 21 st century health care.
More personal responsibility o The use of technology for advancements o More patient-centered care
78
Please describe in your own words the 8 principals of public health nursing.
Do the most good for the most amount of people. o Include all those who could benefit from the resource. o The people are your population. o Integrate EBP within your research and implementation. o Partnership between the nurse and patient o Prevention is the priority. o Include all aspects of a group to obtain most beneficial results. o Collaboration with other health officials to promote health of the people.
79
Social determinants of health
o Education access and quality o Economic status o Social and community context  o Neighborhood and built environment. o Health care access and quality

81
HiTect Act (how did this help and explain it)
HITECH= health information technology o Helped communication between health professionals, track, and surveillance. o Enhance coordination of care, diminish duplication of services and permit reporting on quality of care.
82
Public health intervention wheel
a population-based model that is applied to individuals, families, communities, or within systems and defines 17 public health interventions focusing upon prevention. It is a way of defining public health nursing by the type of actions taken on behalf of clients to protect or improve health status.
83

117
Discuss the Tuskegee syphilis trial.
 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
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.
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
TB How is it spread? (Transmission)
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
TB S/s
Fatigue, fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss, cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer, coughing up blood.
121
TB who is t risk
HIV patients or people with weakened immune system- diabetics, chronic renal failure. People in jail or share needles.
122
Latent vs active TB
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
The four core medications used for treatment for TB and what you would monitor or educate your patient about.
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
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.
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.
125
Foodborne illness complaints what can the health department and nurses do? Please list the 6 items in your own words the very important role of the health department and nurse.
Be up to date on upcoming health problems the community could be a t risk for via notable disease reports. o Prevent from a large influx of sickness. We need to investigate the complaint, identify the source, and correct the problem. o Intergrade our knowledge of foodborne illness with preparation of practices within the community. o Provide training on proper food preparation. o Provide education. o Show interest and responsiveness to the pt.
