The population health nurse is reviewing data collected on a group of patients to determine which patients are experiencing the same health problem. In which step of the epidemiologic process is the nurse functioning?
 
  1. Defining the condition.
  2. Developing control strategies.
  3. Identifying strategic points of control.
  4. Determining the natural history of the condition.

Question 2

After reviewing data collected during a community health fair the population health nurse is concerned that 500 people have an absolute risk of developing peripheral vascular disease. How should the nurse explain this risk to the community leaders?
 
  1. Probability that any of the 500 people will develop peripheral vascular disease.
  2. Probability that one of the 500 people will develop peripheral vascular disease when compared to the rest of the population.
  3. The ability that the 500 people will be affected by factors that contribute to the development of peripheral vascular disease.
  4. The likelihood that the 500 people will be exposed to factors that contribute to the development of peripheral vascular disease.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The nurse is working within the first step of the process or defining the condition. The nurse is working to clearly define what is, and what is not, an instance of the problem. Developing control strategies is the fourth step of the process and occurs after the condition is defined, the natural history of the condition is determined, and strategic points of control have been identified. When identifying strategic points of control the nurse identifies strategic points at which the development or course of the condition might be controlled. Determining the natural history of the condition is a description of the events that precede its development and occur during its course, as well as its typical outcomes. This step occurs after the condition is defined.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Absolute risk is the probability that anyone in a given population will develop a particular condition. Relative risk is the probability that someone in a group of people with a particular characteristic will develop the condition when compared to people without that characteristic. Susceptibility is the ability to be affected by factors contributing to a particular health condition. Exposure potential is the likelihood of encountering or being exposed to factors that contribute to a condition.
