The client is admitted to the emergency department with a number of diagnoses and is being admitted for observation. On the wellnessillness continuum, what is the implication for the acute illness that the client is being admitted?
 
  A) Occurrence of detectable structural change in one or more organs that also alters usual function
  B) Interferes with the wellnessillness continuum for a short period of time
  C) A disorder in which a structural cause cannot be identified
  D) Results in long-term health impairment

Question 2

The nurse is reviewing with a client cerebral circulation. The client is going to be having brain surgery and knows that circulation to the brain is vital in maintaining life and the ability to function.
 
  Based on this information, the nurse reviews the circulation in the brain. Which response by the nurse is best in the identification of which artery connects with the circle of Willis to provide oxygenated blood to the brain? A) Common carotid artery
  B) Internal carotid artery
  C) Right vertebral artery

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Acute illness interferes with the wellnessillness continuum for a short period of time. Organic disease is the occurrence of detectable structural change in one or more organs that also alters usual function. Functional disease is a disorder in which a structural cause cannot be identified. Chronic illness results in long-term health impairment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Anteriorly, one branch of the common carotid artery is the internal carotid artery. The internal carotid anastomoses (connects) with the circle of Willis, thus providing oxygenated blood to the brain. Oxygenated blood also arrives at the brain by another route. The right vertebral artery and left vertebral artery branch form the subclavian artery at the posterior aspect of the brain.
