Broadening Social Skills: During this task, the young adult is broadening the range of appropriate and dependable social skills through active participation in varied social settings.

31. (p. 13-14) Describe the basic difference between the conventional Western view of health and the definition of health proposed by your authors.

The conventional Western view of health is based on the absence of disease/illness and a reliance on medical services and health promotion to ensure longevity. By contrast, the authors' definition of health is multidimensional and focuses on one's ability to access resources for growth within each dimension.

32. (p. 12) Explain why behavior change is often difficult. Behavioral change is often difficult because several factors strongly influence a person's desire to change. They include the knowledge that a particular behavioral pattern is clearly associated with a particular health problem; the belief that their behavioral patterns will make them susceptible to a particular health problem; the recognition that risk-reduction intervention strategies exist and, should they adopt them in a compliant manner, they will reduce the risk of a particular health problem; the belief that benefits of newly adopted health-enhancing behaviors will be more reinforcing than the behaviors being given up; the feeling that significant others in their lives truly want them to alter their high-risk health behaviors and will support their efforts.

82. (p. 35) List the techniques for effectively managing conflict. 1) Listen to and acknowledge the other person's point of view, even if it differs from your own. This will allow the other person to know that you are listening and allows you to repeat back what you may have heard or misinterpreted. 2) Use assertive communication that includes "I" statements. Using "I" instead of "You" statements helps to defuse potential conflicts by not putting the other person on the defensive. 3) Focus not just on what you say, but how you say it. The volume and tone of your voice can cause the other person to raise his or her voice, creating a shouting match. 4) Acknowledging the other person's feelings validates how the other person is feeling and can defuse further escalation of the conflict. 5) Be aware of your body posture. Folding your arms can send a defensive message. Maintain eye contact and make sure your nonverbal actions match your verbal message. 6) Accept valid criticism. If you have made a mistake contributing to the conflict, take ownership. This will pave the way for others to take responsibility for their part in the conflict. 7) Focus on the problem at hand by staying on track about the present situation. 8) Take a team approach by engaging in mutual problem-solving. Find a middle ground so both parties attain a win-win paradigm via compromise. 9) Agree to disagree. You both can agree that there may be more than one answer and that you will not change the other person's point of view. 10) Agree to discuss this at a later time. When the conversation becomes too volatile or heated, take some time to calm down and revisit the conflict at another time.

64. (p. 130-131) Describe the methods used to measure body fat. List the advantages and disadvantages of each. The following are some of the methods available to determine body composition. 1) The Body Composition System (Bod Pod) is the newest method that involves an egg-shaped chamber and uses computerized pressure sensors to determine the amount of air displaced by a person's body. From this measure, you can then calculate the person's body density and percentage of body fat. 2) Skinfold measurement relies on constant-pressure calipers to measure the thickness of fat just below the skin. While accurate, skinfolds are notoriously hard to locate precisely and generally another person is required to perform the test. 3) Hydrostatic weighing is a precise method that compared a person's underwater weight with body weight out of water and dry. This method requires expensive equipment and trained technicians, making this method impractical for the average person.

65. (p. 134) Summarize the set point theory of body weight. The set point theory posits that each person's body is genetically programmed to maintain a certain weight and, in order to maintain this set point, the body will vary its basal metabolic rate in response to both caloric surpluses and caloric deficits.

66. (p. 136) List the components of a successful weight loss plan. 1) Keep a log of the times, settings, reasons, and feelings associated with eating. 2) Set realistic long-term goals (e.g., no more than 2 pounds per week). 3) Don't deprive yourself of enjoyable foods; reward yourself occasionally with a small treat. 4) Realize that you are making sacrifices for your health and happiness. 5) Eat slowly, as it takes 20 minutes for your brain to signal when you are full. 6) Add more physical activity into your daily routine. 7) Share your commitment with family and friends, and reward yourself when you reach a goal. 8) Keep careful records of daily food consumption and weekly weight loss. 9) Be prepared to deal with occasional setbacks, and see your weight loss program as a lifestyle change, not a diet.

67. (p. 136-138) Summarize a sound approach to lifetime weight control. A sound approach to lifetime weight control includes regular exercise, balanced nutrition based on portion control and current dietary recommendations, lifestyle support, problem-solving, and redefining your personal goals for health.

Focus - Chapter 06 #67

68. (p. 138-140) Explain why dieting alone is a poor way to control weight. Diets, especially fad diets or commercial programs that sell their own food, tend to induce unusual eating patterns, which most people will not continue for the long term. They will become bored or tired of the effort or unwilling to invest extra money into it. Additionally, diets that do not encourage regular physical activity exclude the most effective tool for losing fat and keeping it off. Dieting alone does not address all the factors (lifestyle habits, nutritional ignorance) that led to obesity in the first place.

Focus - Chapter 06 #68

69. (p. 132) Why is regular physical activity the cornerstone of weight control? When weight management experts are asked to identify the single most important reason that obesity rates are so high, they are almost certain to point to inactivity. A significant benefit of regular exercise is that it will increase the basal metabolic rate resulting in a higher consumption of calories at rest. It is estimated that physical activity uses 20-40 percent of caloric intake.

Focus - Chapter 06 #69

70. (p. 145-148) Briefly compare and contrast the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is probably the most common disorder as indicated by the victim's aversion to food and a sense of being overweight even when the victim is drastically underweight. Bulimia nervosa is marked by a similar obsession with the body, but is characterized by a binge-and-purge behavior. Both disorders must be treated with psychological therapies and, in some cases, medical treatment.

During this aspect, an individual's "normal" life begins to degrade while he or she searches for increased pleasure from the drug or behavior. 3) loss of control that occurs when the search for highs changes to a desire to avoid the withdrawal from the drug or behavior and, as a result, the individual loses the ability to control his or her behavior.

60. (p. 196) Explain how the negative effects of carbon monoxide on the body. Burning tobacco forms carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, and it also, one of the most harmful components of tobacco smoke. Once CO is inhaled, it quickly binds with hemoglobin and forms a new compound called carboxyhemoglobin. In this form, hemoglobin is unable to transport oxygen to the tissues and cells where it is needed. Carboxyhemoglobin can lead to shortness of breath, reduced endurance, and reduced brain and cardiovascular function.

Focus - Chapter 08 #60

61. (p. 197-198) Explain the influence of nicotine and the development of cardiovascular disease. Nicotine is a powerful stimulant that increases heart rate and blood pressure. The development of angina pectoris and possible sudden heart attack are heightened by this sustained elevation of heart rate. Nicotine is also a powerful constrictor of blood vessels that increases pressure against the artery walls causing damage to these arteries by allowing a buildup of fatty material. Nicotine causes blood platelets to clump together, increasing the likelihood of blood clot formation. Lastly, nicotine decrease HDL (good cholesterol) levels and increases LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, appearing to support the development of atherosclerosis.

Focus - Chapter 08 #61

62. (p. 200-201) Describe chronic obstructive lung disease. Chronic obstructive lung disease is a disorder where the amount of air that flows in and out of the lungs becomes progressively limited. It is comprised of: 1) chronic bronchitis, in which the walls of the bronchi become inflamed and infected; and 2) pulmonary emphysema that occurs when smoking causes irreversible damage to the tiny air sacs of the lungs (alveoli), preventing an individual from fully oxygenating the blood.

Focus - Chapter 08 #62


63. (p. 206) Describe the risks of passive smoking. Most of the danger of passive smoking comes from the so-called sidestream smoke that gets into the air directly from the pipe, cigar, or cigarette (without first having been inhaled and exhaled by the smoker). This smoke contains even higher quantities of dangerous chemicals than the smoke that the smoker ingests, because it is not filtered by the unburned tobacco and filter. Among nonsmokers who live with smokers, rates of both lung cancer and heart disease are significantly higher than in households where no one smokes.

63. (p. 228-229) List and explain the surgical treatments for heart disease. The surgical treatments include: 1) coronary bypass surgery, in which the coronary obstruction is bypassed by grafting an artery to the aorta to a location just beyond the coronary obstruction. 2) percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty), a procedure in which a coronary catheter is inserted into the narrowed coronary artery and inflated. This inflation opens up the artery by compressing plaque and fatty deposits against the artery wall. 3) heart transplantation, a procedure in which a person's damaged heart is replaced with that of another human being's heart.

65. (p. 230-231) List the different kinds of cerebrovascular accidents that are called strokes. Both blockages (occlusions) and hemorrhages in cerebral arteries are called strokes. Blockages are more common; they occur when a clot prevents blood from reaching an area, causing brain cells to die. Hemorrhage can occur when an artery weakened by hypertension ruptures or when an aneurysm bursts. A third form of stroke is a cerebral aneurysm. An aneurysm is a ballooning or outpouching on a weakened area of an artery.

They also have the ability to command the circulatory system to send them additional blood supply to meet their metabolic needs. This is referred to as angiogenesis. Finally, cancer cells spread to other sites in the body, multiplying the problem.

Focus - Chapter 10 #94

95. (p. 245-246) Why is lung cancer the leading cause of cancer deaths? The main reason lung cancer kills so many is that smoking is a popular habit, and smoking often leads to lung cancer because of the manner in which tobacco smoke invades the lungs with toxins. The nature of lung cancer is such that it usually cannot be diagnosed until it is in an advanced stage; therefore, survival rates are very poor.

Focus - Chapter 10 #95

96. (p. 249-250) Describe the risk factors for breast cancer. Women who have a family history of breast cancer run a higher risk than women who do not.

Focus - Chapter 10 #97


98. (p. 245 (Table 10.3)) What are the warning signs of cancer? The warning signs of cancer include: 1) changes in bowel or bladder habits; 2) a sore that does not heal; 3) unusual bleeding or discharge; 4) thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere; 5) indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; 6) obvious change in a wart or mole; 7) nagging cough or hoarseness.

Focus - Chapter 10 #98

99. (p. 259-260) Explain how lifestyle changes can reduce your cancer risk. Quitting or avoiding smoking can reduce most of the risk for lung cancer and other smoking-related cancers of the mouth and respiratory tract. Avoiding carcinogens in the environment, especially in the workplace, is also an important prevention measure. A healthy diet and weight control can also have a preventative effect, as can regular exercise. Limiting exposure to the sun will slow the development of skin cancer. Avoiding heavy use of alcohol can also lower the risk of some cancers. Know your family history for cancer, and be aware that early screening for certain cancers may be appropriate in this situation.

100. (p. 264-265) Describe the similarities and differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Similarities: Both occur because insulin is unable to facilitate the transport of glucose into body cells; both result in excess blood glucose; the symptoms and long-term damage are generally the same. Differences: Type 2 diabetes features normal insulin production, while type 1 is marked by the absence of insulin production. Type 1 diabetes always requires regular doses of insulin from an outside source.

75. (p. 272-274) Describe the major links in the chain of infection, and explain the role of each. The agent, or pathogen, is the first link in the chain. The next is the reservoir, where the pathogen resides. This can be in the body of an infected person or animal, in a carrier, or elsewhere in the environment. The portal of exit is the means by which the pathogen leaves the reservoir. The mode of transmission is the means by which the pathogen is spread directly or indirectly to a new host by means of a portal of entry into that host. In people, this is often the respiratory or digestive system. The portal of entry is the fifth link and refers to the means in which a pathogenic agent enters and uninfected person. In the sixth link of this chain, the virus enters a new host.

Focus - Chapter 11 #75

76. (p. 274-275) Describe the five stages of infection. 1) The incubation stage lasts from the time a pathogen enters the body until it multiplies enough to produce symptoms. The duration can last from a few hours to many months, depending on a number of variables. The pathogen can be transmitted, but it is not likely, with the exception of HIV infection. 2) The prodromal stage occurs when the host begins to experience symptoms. The pathogen continues to multiply and is capable of being transmitted to a new host. 3) The clinical stage is the most unpleasant stage for the host. At this time, the disease reaches its highest point of development and can be identified through laboratory testing. The likelihood of transmission of the disease is highest during this stage. 4) The decline stage occurs when the first signs of recovery appear as the infection is ending. Individuals may suffer a relapse if they overextend themselves. 5) The recovery stage is characterized by an apparent recovery from the invading agent. The body has built up immunity, so further susceptibility to the pathogen is typically low.

Focus - Chapter 11 #76

77. (p. 289) Describe how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spread. HIV is only spread through methods that get it into the bloodstream of the victim, such as blood transfusions, the sharing of hypodermic needles, perinatal transmission, and oral, anal, or genital sexual contact. When the virus is transmitted sexually, it enters the bloodstream through tears in body tissues. HIV typically cannot be spread by contact with the sweat, tears, or saliva of an infected person.

Focus - Chapter 11 #77


78. (p. 289-290) Explain the relationship and the distinction between HIV infection and AIDS. HIV infection leads to AIDS, but AIDS does not occur immediately. After infection by HIV occurs, there is a lengthy incubation period that typically lasts for years, during which the person has no symptoms. Eventually in most infected people, HIV begins to weaken the immune system and symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and diarrhea appear. Still there may be no diagnosis of AIDS. These problems progress to more life-threatening conditions, some of which are considered indicators of an active case of AIDS. At present, AIDS is diagnosed when the helper T-cell count falls below 200 per cubic millimeter of blood.

Focus - Chapter 11 #78

79. (p. 292) Describe how you can reduce your risk of contracting HIV and sexually transmitted infections. You can reduce your risk by practicing sexual abstinence, not having multiple partners, or by maintaining long-term monogamous relationships. If you engage in sexual activity, you can reduce your risk by learning the sexual history and any health conditions that your partner has, using condoms and spermicides correctly, and avoiding all contact with bodily fluids. Refrain from having sex with known injectable drug users or those infected with an STD, and do not engage in unprotected anal intercourse. Lastly, curtail the use of drugs that will impair good judgment.

As the follicles develop, they release estrogen, which begins the process of building a new endometrial layer in the uterus. This phase culminates in ovulation. 3) Postovulation phase: the corpus luteum continues to secrete hormones to support the endometrium.

Focus - Chapter 13 #93

94. (p. 342-343) Describe the sterilization procedures for men and women. Men: The procedure for men is vasectomy. In this procedure, each vas deferens, the tubes that connect the testes to the urethra, is cut and closed off so that sperm can no longer be ejaculated. This is typically done under local anesthetic in a doctor's office. Women: Sterilization is accomplished by tubal ligation, in which the fallopian tubes are cut and tied back so that ova cannot pass down the tubes and sperm can never reach them. This procedure is now typically done via laparoscopy under general or local anesthetic. One new method of nonsurgical female sterilization involves insertion of the Essure coil into the fallopian tubes by a physician. After three months, the physician checks to see that adequate scar tissue has formed to block the fallopian tubes. A second recent method that is similar to the Essure coil, is called Adiana. This method involves placing an insert into each fallopian tube to encourage scar tissue growth. Adiana differs from Essure in two main ways: 1) Adiana uses a low level of radiofrequency waves and 2) the Adiana insert is a silicone matrix about the size of a grain of rice.

95. (p. 346) List the early signs of pregnancy. Most notably, a missed menstrual period the month after unprotected sexual intercourse can signal the possibility that the endometrium is not being ejected because it harbors an embryo. The woman may also experience the nausea of morning sickness and changes in the breasts.

Focus - Chapter 13 #95

96. (p. 350) Describe the stages of labor and delivery. 1) Effacement and dilation of the cervix: Typically the longest stage, during which contractions begin and gradually become more intense as the cervix dilates. This first stage ends at transition, when the cervix dilates fully and the baby moves into the birth canal. 2) Delivery of fetus: The baby is pushed out through the vaginal opening and delivered. This stage ends when delivery is complete. 3) Delivery of placenta: Uterine contractions continue until the placenta has been expelled. Continuing mild contractions help to stop bleeding and help the uterus begin to return to normal size.

Focus - Chapter 13 #96

97. (p. 352) Describe advantages and disadvantages of "test tube" methods of fertilization. One advantage is the fact that fertilization and implantation are more controllable in a "test tube" situation than they are in a woman's body. Also, this type of assisted pregnancy is the only option for women whose fallopian tubes are totally blocked. On the other hand, fertility services make the process of getting pregnant much more involved and expensive, and there is no guarantee of success. An unusually large percentage of assisted pregnancies result in more than one conception.

41. (p. 437-438) In what major ways does hospice care differ from hospital care? Hospice care is based on maximizing the patient's comfort and quality of life, while the goal of hospital care is to fight the disease. Hospice's emphasis on spiritual healing tends not to be a priority of hospital care. Family involvement in the care enhances the hospice experience, while in a hospital such involvement must be very limited. Another major area of difference is in the autonomy of the patient; in a hospice the patient is encouraged to make his or her own decisions, while the hospital patient must rely on a physician's best judgment.

42. (p. 447-448) Describe the options commonly available for the disposition of a dead body. 1) Ground burial, the most commonly used option, involves purchasing a cemetery plot, a casket, and usually a vault. Often the dead body is embalmed and presented at a wake or visitation prior to burial. 2) Entombment is a similar procedure to ground burial, except that the casket is placed in a mausoleum or crypt instead of in a buried vault. 3) Cremation involves the destruction of the body by burning. The remaining ashes may be buried in the conventional manner in a cemetery or scattered. 4) Anatomical donation involves donating the entire body or parts of it. Most commonly, organs are retrieved as potential donor organs and the rest of the body is returned to the family, or the entire body is embalmed and given to a medical school for use in instruction. These bodies are eventually cremated and returned to their families, if desired.
