MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. How is disease defined?
a. The failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli and stresses
adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances
b. Disease and illness are components of a struggle for balance in the bodily systems
c. The failure of a person’s bodily systems in responding to stresses, resulting in a hormonal
imbalance
d. The assault by stimuli and stress on the body’s core defence systems
ANS: A
Disease may be defined as the failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli
and stresses adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances. This definition is an
ecological concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease,
rather than describing a single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.

2. How can health be defined?
a. As the absence of disease and illness
b. As the person’s philosophy for living in harmony with their environment
c. A state of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being
d. A state of physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person’s
potential and is experienced within a developmental context.
ANS: D
Definitions of health have evolved as the nature of health and illness becomes better
understood. Health is much more than the absence of disease and illness. It is a state of
physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person’s potential and is
experienced within a developmental context.

a. CDCQOL-BREF (from the Centers for Disease Control)

d. Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion

5. Which of the following best describes a care recipient who has an illness?
a. Someone who has well-controlled diabetes
b. Someone with hypercholesterolemia
c. Someone with a headache
d. Someone with coronary artery disease without angina
ANS: C
Someone with a headache represents a person with an illness. An illness is made up of the
subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be
described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person’s needs and the
resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
other choices represent disease.

6. Which Canadian report is considered to be a landmark document in creating a global
approach to health?
a. Population Health Promotion Model
b. Healthy People 2020
c. Framework for Health Promotion in Canada
d. World Health Organization Quality of Life
ANS: C
By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion
ideals and strategies, particularly with the unveiling of the Framework for Health Promotion
in Canada at the first World Health Organization (WHO) conference on health promotion in
Ottawa. The overall goal of “achieving health for all” in this report identifies three health

, challenges: reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three
health-promotion mechanisms to address these challenges are self-care, mutual aid, and
healthy environments. The final component of the framework consists of three
implementation strategies: fostering public participation, strengthening community health
services; and coordinating health public policy.
Healthy People 2020 is a US-based document to guide planning for health care. The WHO
Quality of Life tool is a quality of life measurement tool used by health care workers. The
Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide
health promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.

(PHAC) is focused on for improving the health of Canadians?
a. Decreased tobacco use in youth throughout the country

8. Which of the following represents a method of primary prevention?
a. Informational session about healthy lifestyles
b. Blood pressure screening
c. Interventional cardiac catheterization
d. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization
ANS: A
Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. It includes health promotion and specific
protection and encourages increased awareness; thus, education about healthy lifestyles fits
this definition. Blood pressure screening does not prevent disease, but instead identifies it.

9. Which of the following represents a method of secondary prevention?
a. Education about breast self-examination
b. Yearly mammograms
c. Chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer
d. Complete mastectomy for breast cancer

, ANS: B
Screening is secondary prevention because the principal goal of screenings is to identify
individuals in an early, detectable stage of the disease process. A mammogram is a screening
tool for breast cancer and, thus, is considered a method of secondary prevention.

10. Which of the following represents a method of tertiary prevention?
a. Drunk driving campaign
b. Road blocks for drunk driving
c. Emergency surgery for head trauma after a motor vehicle accident
d. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy after a motor vehicle accident with head
trauma
ANS: D
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are considered tertiary prevention. Tertiary
prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. It involves
minimizing the effect of disease and disability. The objective of tertiary prevention is to
maximize remaining capacities.
