| A | Snow developed a frequency distribution of the number of human deaths by placing hash marks on a city street map and realized a cluster of deaths occurred near the Broad Street water pump. |
| B | Snow developed a frequency distribution of the number of human deaths and found that they were clustered around the Broad Street water pump, not the food supply. |
| C | Snow developed a frequency distribution of the number of human deaths; he did not interview the families of the sick. |
| D | Snow developed a frequency distribution of the number of human deaths; he did not perform autopsies. |
PTS: 1 CON: Safety | Infection
| A. | Risk factor phase, infectious disease phase, and sanitary phase |
| B. | Infectious disease phase, risk factor phase, and sanitary phase |
| C. | Sanitary phase, infectious disease phase, and risk factor phase |
| D. | Agent phase, host phase, and environment phase |
ANS: C
Objective: 7. Explain behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors that have an impact on health.
Heading: Introduction > Historical Beginnings
Integrated Processes: Teaching/Learning
Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control
Cognitive Level: Comprehension [Understanding]
Concept: Infection; Safety
Difficulty: Easy
| Feedback | |
| A | The first phase, the sanitary phase, was due to the theory that sanitation needed to be improved to aid health. During the next phase, the infectious disease phase, germ theory was developed and antibiotics came into production. The third phase, the risk factor phase, turned to reducing risk for disease and prevention. |
| B | The first phase, the sanitary phase, was due to the theory that sanitation needed to be improved to aid health. During the next phase, the infectious disease phase, germ theory was developed and antibiotics came into production. The third phase, the risk factor phase, turned to reducing risk for disease and prevention. |
| C | The first phase, the sanitary phase, was due to the theory that sanitation needed to be improved to aid health. During the next phase, the infectious disease phase, germ theory was developed and antibiotics came into production. The third phase, the risk factor phase, turned to reducing risk for disease and prevention. |
| D | The agent, host, and environment model is the Epidemiology Triangle, which is the model used to explaining the occurrence of disease. |
PTS: 1 CON: Infection | Safety
| A. | Descriptive data analysis |
| B. | The ecological model |
| C. | Demography |
| D. | The web of causation |
ANS: D
Objective: 7. Explain behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors that have an impact on health.
Heading: Introduction > Web of Causation
Integrated Processes: Nursing Process
Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance
Cognitive Level: Comprehension [Understanding]
Concept: Oxygenation; Critical Thinking; Promoting Health
Difficulty: Easy
| Feedback | |
| A | Descriptive data analysis is the first step in the analysis of demographic data. It analyses the accuracy of the data, but does not look at risk factors. |
| B | The ecological model is used to design health promotions to maintain and improve health and evaluate behaviors. It is not used to visualize risk factors. |
| C | Demography is the population-level study of person-related variables or factors. It is used to understand population-level patterns related to health phenomena. This may be helpful, but it does not consider the other levels of risk factors. |
| D | The web of causation is a framework that demonstrates the complexity of the multiple factors of illness, injury, and disease, which are determined by multiple causes. |
PTS: 1 CON: Oxygenation | Critical Thinking | Promoting Health
| A. | Prevalence |
| B. | Incidence |
| C. | Secondary attack rate |
| D. | Attack rate |
ANS: C
Objective: 5. Apply basic biostatistical methods to analyze epidemiological data.
Heading: Tools of Epidemiology: Demography and Biostatistics > Biostatistics
Integrated Processes: Nursing Process
Client Need: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control
Cognitive Level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Assessment; Infection
Difficulty: Moderate
| Feedback | |
| A | The prevalence is the total number of accumulated cases of a disease or illness, both new and preexisting, at a given time. |
| B | Incidence is the number of new cases of a disease of illness at a specific time or over a specific period of time. |
| C | Secondary attack rate is calculated this way. It is essentially the number of contacts of the initially ill who are now ill. |
| D | Attack rate is calculated by placing the total number of ill or diseased people in the numerator and dividing by the total number of ill plus well people in the susceptible population. |
