Immunity
the person is aware that something is wrong. A person usually recognize a physical sensation or a limitation in functioning but does not suspect a specific diagnosis
Stage 1 Symptom Experience-

Stage 4 Dependent Client Role
This stage can arrive suddenly such as when the symptoms appeared. In the care of chronic illness, the final stage may involve in an adjustment to a prolong reduction in health and functioning
Stage 5 Recovery of Rehabilitation
illness affect not only the client who is ill but also the family or significant others.
Impact of Illness to the Family
The member of the family who is ill
The seriousness and length of the illness
The cultural and social customs the family follows

Nursing implications of Illness
Reinforce desirable changes in practices with a view to making them permanent part of the client’s lifestyle
Nursing implications of Illness-
the extent to which any microorganism is capable of producing an infectious process depends on the number of microorganisms present, the virulence and potency of the microorganisms (pathogenicity), the ability of the microorganisms to enter the body, the susceptibility of the host, and the ability of the microorganisms to live in the host’s body.
Pathogen
- common source are other humans, the client;s own microorganism, plants, animals, medical equipment, or general environment (soil and water).
Source of the Pathogen (Reservoir)
A carrier is a human or animal reservoir of a specific infectious agent that usually does not manifest any clinical signs of disease
Source of the Pathogen (Reservoir)
before an infection can establish itself in a host, the microorganism must leave the reservoir.
Portal of Exit-
Respiratory tract
Gastrointestinal tract
Urinary tract
Reproductive tract
Blood and tissue
Common human reservoirs:
after a microorganism leaves the source or reservoir, it requires a means of transmission to reach another individual or host through a receptive portal of entry.
Mode of Transmission
involves immediate or direct transfer or microorganisms from individual to individual through touching, biting, kissing or sexual lintercourse.
Direct transmission
a form of direct transmission but can occur if the source and the host is within meter of each other.
Droplet spread
vehicle-borne or vector borne
Indirect transmission
any substance that serves as an intermediate means to transport and introduce an infectious agent into a susceptible host through a susceptible portal of entry
Vehicle
handkerchiefs, toys, soiled clothes, eating utensils, surgical instruments can act as vehicles. Food, water, blood, serum, plasma are other vehicles.
Fomites (inanimate materials or objects)
a vector in an animal or flying or crawling insect that serves as an intermediate means of transporting the infectious agent.
Vector-borne transmission
may involve droplets or dust
Airborne transmissio
the residue evaporated droplets emitted by an infected host such as someone with tuberculosis, can remain in air for long periods.
Droplet nuclei
before the individual can become infected, microorganisms must enter the body.
Portal of Entry-
The skin to infectious agents, any break in the skin can readily serve as a __
portal entry
Medical interventions such a stubs, catheters, surgical wounds are common __
portal of entry.
any individual who is at risk for infection
Susceptible Host
someone at risk, an individual who for one or more reasons is more likely that others to acquire an infection
Compromised host-
seeks to prevent a disease or condition at a pre pathologic state; to stop someone from ever happening
Primary Prevention
Health education
Marriage counseling
Genetic screening
Good standard of nutrition adjusted to developmental phase of lids
Health Promotion
Use of specific immunization
Attention to personal hygiene
Use of environmental sanitation
Protection against occupational hazards
Protection from accidents
Avoidance to allergens
Protections from carcinogens
Use of specific nutrients
Specific Protection
“Health maintenance”. Seeks to identify specific illness or conditions at an early stage with prompt intervention to prevent ot limit disability; to prevent catastrophic effects that could occur if proper attention and treatment are not provided
Secondary Prevention
Case finding measures
Individual and mass screening survey
Prevent spread of communicable disease
Prevent complication and sequelae
Shorten period of disability
Early diagnosis and Prompt Treatment
Adequate treatment to arrest disease process and prevent further complication and sequelae
Provision of facilities to limit disability and prevent death
Disability Limitations
occurs after a disease or disability has occurred and the recovery process has begun; intent to halt the disease or injury process and assist the person in obtaining an optimal health status. To establish a high-level wellness. “To maximize use of remaining capacities”
Tertiary Prevention
Work therapy in hospital
Use of shelter colony
Restoration and Rehabilitation
it is a way of thinking that revolves around a philosophy of wholeness, wellness, and well-being
Health Promotion
Awareness of the relationship between lifestyle and illness and the development of health- promoting habits, such as getting adequate exercise, rest and relaxation; maintaining good nutrition; and controlling the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs
Health Promotion
Parsons and Pender (2019) consider health promotion to be different from disease prevention
Health Promotion-
moved from being considered a goal or desired end point to a process to facilitate movement towards accomplishment of health goals
Health Promotion
It is both art and science of supporting people to make lifestyle changes and create an environmental conducive to health.
Health Promotion
“Prevention, a narrow sense, means avoiding the development of disease in the future, and, in the broader sense, consist of all interventions to limit progression of a disease”
Disease Prevention- Edelman and Kudzuma
a disease is a chieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person’s system. Antibodies are proteins produced by te body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. (CDC)
