96) Compare the World Health Organization (WHO) 1947 definition of health and the definition advanced by biologist and philosopher René Dubos in 1968, identifying a key distinction critical to our current understanding of health. Answer: Whereas the WHO acknowledged physical, social, and mental dimensions of health, Dubos added spiritual and emotional dimensions. Moreover, whereas the WHO defined health as a state of complete physical, social, and mental well-being, Dubos saw health as a state of fitness resulting from adaptability to one's environment. This concept of adaptability is key to our current understanding of health. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: What Is Health?

99) Explain why one of the most popular definitions of mindfulness in contemporary culture is "Keeping your feet in the now." Answer: An essential component of mindfulness is bringing one's complete attention to the present moment, including thoughts, feelings, and sensations arising from one's environment. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: How Does Mindfulness Influence Health? Learning Outcome: 1.4 100) What considerations does the Health Belief Model (HBM) identify as important for an individual who wants to quit smoking? What considerations does the Social Cognitive Model (SCM) identify as important? Answer: The HBM emphasizes the role of an individual's beliefs; namely, beliefs related to the seriousness of the health consequences of smoking, the susceptibility to those consequences, the benefits of quitting, and the barriers to quitting. The HBM also considers cues to action, such as chronic coughing or other symptoms, a lung disease diagnosis in a loved one, or a warning from a healthcare provider about the seriousness of tobacco use. In contrast, the SCM emphasizes the importance of role models in the individual's environment, including people who smoke and people who do not, and the thoughts an individual has regarding the effects of these choices on health. The SCM proposes that the individual regulates his or her behavior as a result of this process of observation and reflection, and that his or her successful behavior change then provides a model for others to observe.

102) Jean drinks at least eight cans of soda each day. She knows that she should drink water, but the soda is much more satisfying because she loves its sweet taste. She has decided that she is going to stop drinking so much soda Sunday through Friday; she will reward herself by drinking soda on Saturday, and not making herself drink any water that day. She is confident that by the end of eight weeks, she will successfully overcome her soda habit and learn to like drinking water. Do you think Jean will successfully reach her goal by following her plan? Critique her plan and propose an alternate series of steps for her to follow to achieve her goal. Answer: Jean is unlikely to reach her goal. Her goal is not specific enough and is probably unrealistic. Also, she is trying to change two behaviors at once: reducing her soda intake and increasing her water intake. She should focus on changing one behavior at a time: either cut back to a specific number of cans of soda per day or drink a specific amount of water per day. Her reward needs to be more meaningful and less like the behavior she is actually trying to change. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: How Can You Improve Your Health Behaviors? Learning Outcome: 1.6

Learning Outcome: 3.1 107) Explain why, according to the Yerkes-Dodson law of arousal, our performance during stressful events can be depicted as a bell-shaped curve. In your answer, use the example of taking a difficult exam. Answer: The Yerkes-Dodson law of arousal states that, as our stress increases to a certain peak level, our performance increases as well. Thus, the moderate stress we feel when taking an exam for which we are well prepared boosts our performance on that exam. However, stress beyond that peak level will cause no further improvement in performance and can cause performance to drop precipitously. Thus, being completely stressed out about an exam can interfere with our ability to think clearly, recall information, and so forth, thereby reducing our performance.

96) The 2016 mass murder at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, targeted members of the LGBT community, many of whom were Latino. It was committed by an American who had professed a hatred of members of the LGBT and Latino communities, and had professed allegiance to the terrorist group ISIS. Was the shooting a hate crime, an act of terrorism, or both? Defend your answer. Answer: Answers will vary but should include some of the following information: A hate crime is a crime targeted against a particular societal group and motivated by bias against that group. Terrorism is the use of violence to intimidate or coerce a population in furtherance of a political or social agenda. The Pulse Nightclub shooting included aspects of both. The shooting targeted members of the LGBT community, many of whom were Latino, and the killer had expressed hatred for the LGBT community and for Latinos. In addition, during the shooting he swore allegiance to the terrorist group ISIS.

Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: Knowing yourself—for example, knowing how the strengths and challenges of your family history and personality affect the choices you make and how you respond to life emotionally—is important because, without this self-knowledge in place, you are more likely to make decisions and react to experiences in ways that are not conscious and that may be harmful to a relationship. Nurturing yourself is important because, if you cannot meet your own needs, you're likely to make unreasonable demands on your partner, or alternatively, to nurture your partner to the exclusion of your own needs, a behavior that tends to build resentment. Selfnurturance is therefore one of the two personal qualities especially important in relationships. The other is accountability—taking responsibility for your own actions.

102) Identify and describe three types of listening, and explain the effect of each on strengthening or undermining relationships. Answer: 1. Selective listening occurs when we are listening only for information that supports what we already believe; otherwise, we tune out. It is characterized by a stronger desire to explain our own point of view than to understand someone else's. This type of listening undermines relationships by impeding our grasp of our partner's information, experiences, and concerns. 2. Passive listening is characterized by a failure to provide feedback that ensures the speaker that his or her message is being received. This type of listening undermines relationships by causing the speaker to question whether the listener has truly heard, understood, and cares about the speaker's concerns. 3. Active listening is characterized by an attempt not only to hear the speaker's words, but also to understand the speaker's message. The listener confirms understanding by restating or paraphrasing the message before responding. This type of listening shows the speaker that the listener has understood the message and cares about what the speaker is thinking and feeling. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Building Communication Skills Learning Outcome: 6.3 103) Do you think jealousy is present in a healthy relationship? Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: A certain amount of jealousy can occur in any loving relationship; it doesn't have to threaten a relationship as long as partners communicate openly about it. However, jealousy can indicate underlying problems such as insecurity or possessiveness or fear of losing control, any of which may prove to be a significant barrier to a healthy, intimate relationship if not talked about, and may lead to dangerous consequences. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Relationships: For Better and Worse Learning Outcome: 6.4 104) Explain why it is so important to a healthy relationship to communicate your expectations. Answer: We all have expectations of our relationships, including how and how often we'll spend time together, what decisions we'll share, how we'll express our love and desire, and how we'll grow as a couple. Between any two people, these expectations are likely to differ. No one can guess another person's expectations. If we fail to communicate them clearly, we set ourselves up for disappointment, anger, and hurt. When we communicate them, explore how they differ, and agree on mutual expectations as a couple, we help the relationship to thrive. We also establish a baseline for our behavior as a couple, and can refer to that baseline if conflict arises because one partner has failed to act according to the couple's expectations.

105) Why do you think that a great majority of adults age 20 to 34 in the United States, and a significant percentage of adults overall, have never been married? Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: Contemporary society provides significant support for the single lifestyle, allowing single people to lead rich, rewarding lives and maintain a supportive network of friends as well as family. Moreover, cohabitation has become an increasingly common choice for Americans, and the great majority of couples now cohabitate before marriage. In addition, more and more young Americans are delaying marriage. People who have never married are not necessarily people who are not in an intimate relationship. Finally, many people enjoy the self-sufficiency and time to pursue their interests that singlehood allows. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Partnering and Singlehood Learning Outcome: 6.5

Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Skill: Remembering Section: Infertility Learning Outcome: 7.7 97) Identify the three conditions necessary for conception, and at least three methods of contraception, identifying the necessary condition that each of these methods disrupts. Answer: Conception requires: (1) a viable egg; (2) a viable sperm; and (3) access to the egg by the sperm. Examples of methods of contraception and the necessary condition they disrupt would include: • Hormonal birth control methods that suppress ovulation are effective in altering condition (1), the viable egg. Moreover, fertility awareness methods attempt to ensure that a viable egg is not present in the woman's reproductive tract at the same time as viable sperm. • Although many conditions-such as exposure to heat or certain medications—can alter the health, number, and motility of sperm, no reliable method of contraception currently exists to safely and effectively oppose condition (2), the viable sperm. • Male sterilization prevents sperm from entering the ejaculatory duct. Female sterilization, withdrawal, and barrier methods such as external and internal condoms and spermicide all prevent an encounter between viable sperm and viable egg. These methods alter condition (3), access. In addition, IUDs are thought to block fertilization by affecting the movement of egg and sperm. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Basic Principles of Contraception Learning Outcome: 7.1 and 7.2 98) Explain the difference between abstinence and outercourse and the pros and cons of each. Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: Abstinence means to deliberately avoid oral, vaginal, or anal sex, but can include engaging in kissing, massage, and solitary masturbation. Abstinence is 100 percent effective as birth control and in preventing STIs. Outercourse means engaging in activities such as oralgenital sex and mutual masturbation. Outercourse can be 100 percent effective for birth control but is not 100 percent effective against STIs. Both abstinence and outercourse require discipline and commitment to sustain over time.

99) Why do you think sterilization is a common method of contraception for men and women of all ages in the United States? Answer: As opposed to other methods of contraception, sterilization is permanent. It can be an excellent method of contraception for anyone who does not want any children or any more children, but should be considered permanent, as it often cannot be reversed. Sterilization also does not prevent STIs.

Answer: Couples who strongly wish to avoid pregnancy, yet want to preserve their fertility for the future, should make effectiveness a primary consideration in their choice of contraceptive. As shown in Table 7.1, IUDs and contraceptive implants (Nexplanon) are more than 99% effective with typical use. Other hormonal contraceptives are highly effective with typical use, but do not match the effectiveness of IUDs and implants. Other considerations, such as protection against sexually transmitted infections, cost, health concerns, etc., may be important for couples to consider as well.

102) Discuss the current research consensus on the effects of having had an abortion on a woman's emotional health. Answer: A range of emotional responses, from happiness and relief to sadness and regret, are possible following an abortion. However, research does not suggest that abortion causes an increase in anxiety, depression, or thoughts of suicide. Research does suggest that the best predictor of a woman's emotional health following abortion is her emotional health prior to the abortion. Moreover, having to hide an abortion from others, fearing being stigmatized because of it, having a low level of social support, or having a low sense of self-esteem all increase the risk that the woman will have negative psychological consequences. Diff: 5 Skill: Evaluating Section: Abortion Learning Outcome: 7.4 103) What factors do you think should be taken into consideration when planning a pregnancy? Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: Couples should consider why they want to have a child. They should discuss whether they are ready to make the sacrifices necessary to bear and raise a child. In addition, they should examine whether they can financially afford a child. Both should consider the effect of their age, since the mother's and the father's age can affect the health of the child. Finally, the partners should assess their health status and health behaviors, and both parents-to-be should practice healthy habits such as avoiding smoking and substance abuse. Diff: 5 Skill: Evaluating Section: Pregnancy Learning Outcome: 7.5 104) Do you think it is important for men to take similar health precautions as women when trying to conceive? Should they consider their age? Provide information from the chapter to support your answer. Answer: Research suggests that a man's exposure to chemicals influences the health of his future child. Some disorders can be traced to sperm damaged by chemicals. Sperm are naturally vulnerable to toxic chemicals and genetic damage. Moreover, the father's age can play a role in the health of his offspring. Children born to older fathers appear to have an increased risk for autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Addictive Behaviors Learning Outcome: 8.2 96) Focusing on the role of dopamine, explain the normal process of neural communication at a brain synapse, and how a drug like cocaine can disrupt this process. Answer: As part of the process by which one neuron communicates with another, dopamine, a neurotransmitter, is released into the synapse between the neurons. It temporarily binds with receptors on the receiving neuron; then, the transmitting neuron takes up the dopamine again through a transporter. Drugs like cocaine exert their effects by attaching to these dopamine transporters, thereby blocking the reuptake of dopamine into the transmitting neuron. This leaves excessive amounts of dopamine active in the synapse, creating feelings of excitement and euphoria while the drug is in effect, and a subsequent "crash" as the drug wears off.

100) Do you think marijuana should be used for medicinal purposes? Provide information from the chapter to support your response. Answer: Answers will vary. It can help control the nausea and vomiting that are common side effects of chemotherapy for cancer patients, it improves appetite, and it forestalls the loss of lean muscle mass associated with AIDS-wasting syndrome. It can reduce muscle pain caused by diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Currently, it is legal for medical use in 36 states in the United States, and the FDA has approved several THC-containing medications for such uses. Legalization allows for state regulation of marijuana and encourages standardized and responsible growth. It also saves money in law enforcement. However, opponents assert that there are many FDA-approved medications that are just as effective in treating the same health problems. Moreover, marijuana can also have negative health effects, such as lung disorders, immunosuppression, negative effects on memory, and an increased risk for motor vehicle accidents. Opponents also claim that marijuana has potential as a "gateway drug" leading to more serious substance abuse.

102) Using material from the chapter, discuss the role of social support in addiction recovery. Answer: (Answers will vary.) Social support is a powerful aid to recovery. The ability to connect with others for social interaction, support, and friendship helps to reduce the isolation that those in recovery can otherwise experience. Social support includes community support via a formal group such as a 12-step program, which helps individuals work toward personal recovery, as well as support from friends, family members, coworkers, and community members. Recovery coaches, a newer option in social support, help people being discharged from treatment programs to connect with community resources and provide emotional support, informational support, help in accessing health and social services, and in finding health social connections and recreational activities. Social and recreational programs for people in recovery include cafes, clubhouses, sports leagues, and music and arts groups. Finally, social media can provide support for people in recovery, reducing isolation and promoting friendships.

96) Explain how you can obtain complete proteins from plant-based foods. Answer: Only two plant-based foods–soy and quinoa–contain all essential amino acids and are therefore considered complete proteins. Other plant-based foods are typically high in many amino acids but limited in one or more. However, by combining two or three foods with complementary proteins–proteins that each supply amino acids missing from the others–you can create a meal that provides you with all essential amino acids. For example, the amino acids missing from beans can be supplied by rice and green leafy vegetables. Note that complementary amino acids do not have to be consumed in the same meal.

Answer: The FDA does not evaluate the safety and efficacy of supplements before they go onto the market. Supplements manufacturers are responsible for monitoring the safety and efficacy of their products, and the efficacy of many is unproven. Moreover, supplements often do not contain the ingredients listed on the label, and often are contaminated with allergens, drugs, and other ingredients that may be harmful to the consumer. Finally, supplements can interact with prescription and over-the-counter medications, causing health problems. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: How Can I Eat More Mindfully and Healthfully?

99) Compare and contrast the three types of claims the FDA allows on food labels. Answer: The three types of claims the FDA allows on food labels are: Health claims. These identify a relationship between a food component and a health effect, such as "As part of a healthy, low-fat diet, whole-grains foods may reduce the risk of heart disease." These claims are supported by significant scientific agreement and are regulated and approved by the FDA. Nutrient content claims. The identify a level of a nutrient present in a food, such as "High in fiber." These claims are also regulated and approved by the FDA. Structure and function claims. These describe the effect that a component of the food has on the body, such as "Calcium builds strong bones." The FDA does not regulate these claims.

Give examples of each and distinguish between a gluten intolerance and celiac disease. Answer: A food allergy is an immune hypersensitivity—an overreaction by the immune system—to a protein in a food. It can produce discomfort such as a rash or abdominal cramps, or more serious symptoms, such as impaired breathing or even life-threatening, body-wide inflammation and cardiovascular problems known as anaphylaxis. Common food allergens are milk, peanuts, eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Food intolerance is not due to an immune hypersensitivity. Rather, it reflects the body's inability to digest some component of a food. Although it may produce physical symptoms of digestive upset, they tend to be temporary and resolve as soon as the food has passed through the gastrointestinal tract. The most common food intolerance is to the lactose disaccharide in milk. However, many people believe that they have an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Like any intolerance, gluten intolerance provokes a temporary episode of digestive discomfort. It is not the same as celiac disease, which is a serious and chronic disorder in which an affected person's immune system produces an inflammatory response in the small intestine whenever the person consumes gluten. The immune response degrades the lining of the small intestine, reducing nutrient absorption, and leading to weight loss, pain, and other signs and symptoms.

96) Identify the primary concern associated with eating out at restaurants and at least three strategies that you can use to combat overeating when eating out. Answer: (Answers will vary): The primary concern associated with eating out at restaurants is portion size. Portion sizes in restaurants are considerably larger than those in past decades, and some researchers believe that Americans no longer recognize a reasonable portion size. To combat the potential for overeating, you can share an entrée with a friend or consider having a protein-rich appetizer for the main meal. Consider choosing an item from a "happy hour" menu, which may be smaller than a standard dinner item. You can eat half of your entrée and take the rest home to eat on another day. Avoid buffet restaurants, but if you do dine at a buffet, use a small plate and fill it with lean protein foods and vegetables. Skip or share desserts. Ask for dressings or gravies on the side. Be aware of the speed at which you are eating and try to take your time. Talk to your dining companions and put down your fork between bites. Read the calorie and nutrition information on the restaurant menu.

98) Give at least two reasons that it is entirely possible for an individual with a BMI of 26 to be more fit and have lower health risks than an individual with a BMI of 24. Answer: (Answers will vary but should include two of the following points): • A critical health-related consideration is where in the body an individual is carrying stored fat. Fat stores in the abdominal area are associated with a higher health risk than fat stores in the hips or in the body overall. • Another consideration is ratio of fat to lean tissue overall: Muscle weighs more than fat, and an individual who is highly muscular and very healthy may have a higher BMI than someone who is sedentary and has low muscle mass. • Similarly, an individual with a large bone structure may have a higher BMI as a result, yet be more fit than an individual with smaller bones and a lower BMI. • Another consideration is age: BMI is not considered highly accurate in older adults. • Finally, BMI is not considered highly accurate in individuals under 5 feet tall.

54) Explain how the media—including social media and "thinspiration" sites—influence body image. Answer: The media sets standards for what we find attractive. It can mislead people into thinking that the images portrayed are achievable by everyone, when actually they are unrealistic. Photo and design technology are routinely used to manipulate images to change the appearance of models or celebrities, often to make them look thinner or to erase imperfections. Those who do not fit these idealized media-generated images often get the message that they are inadequate or inferior. Social media sites promoting unrealistic and unhealthy body images are also common, and "thinspiration" sites include photos and text meant to inspire visitors to attempt to achieve an unrealistically and even dangerously low body weight. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: What Is Body Image? Learning Outcome: 11a.1 55) What are some of the myths surrounding body image and how can you challenge them? Answer: 1. Myth: How you look is more important than who you are. Keep a realistic perspective and develop a strong sense of identity based on inner characteristics. 2. Myth: Anyone can be as slender and attractive as a celebrity if they work at it hard enough. Remember that there are different body types based on genetic makeup. We are predisposed to have certain characteristics that make us unique, and not everyone has the genes to be slender, muscular, tall, etc. While it is a good idea to eat wisely and exercise to stay healthy, we cannot eat or exercise our way to a precise body shape. Moreover, celebrities often have personal trainers, wardrobe consultants, hairdressers, and other assistants most people cannot afford to retain, and even with such assistance, their images are often altered with computer software. 3. Myth: Extreme dieting is an effective weight-loss strategy. Extreme dieting alters and can actually slow metabolism, resulting in less-efficient burning of calories. It is also unsustainable and potentially dangerous. The key to weight loss is a healthy diet and regular exercise to build lean body tissue, which has a higher metabolic rate than fat tissue. 4. Myth: Things will go better for you if you achieve the perfect body. Attaining an idealized body is not the key to happiness or success. Embrace the diversity of body types and unique physical features and keep a realistic perspective on what attractiveness can and cannot bring. Focus on building healthy relationships and achieving your life goals, two strategies that can, in fact, increase happiness. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: What Is Body Image?

However, they are thought to be caused by a complex combination of factors, including neurological and psychological factors, relationship characteristics, sociocultural factors, and even genetic susceptibility, and therefore they are not easy to cure. Treatment must address the variety of factors contributing to an individual's case.

Why or why not? Answer: Answers will vary, but should include some of the following points. HAES posits that well-being and healthy eating and exercise habits are more important than a number on a scale. Therefore, no matter our size, we should practice self-acceptance. When we do, we can adopt healthful habits of eating and activity without the guilt, compulsion, or selfpunishing that might otherwise accompany our efforts.

Marla is a 25-year-old graduate student who does not exercise regularly. She will occasionally take a jog with friends, but is often out of breath and too sore the next day to be motivated to do it regularly. Answer: Suki has fewer health risks because she exercises regularly. Her heart and lungs are stronger and she probably has normal blood pressure and higher HDL than Marla. She is more likely to be of normal body weight than Marla. Suki will also have better immune responses and be at a lower risk of some cancers than Marla. Marla will most likely have lower bone density and may have an increased risk for cognitive decline and a shorter lifespan than Suki if she does not change her sedentary behaviors. Marla is also at increased risk for injury when she does exercise. Diff: 5 Skill: Evaluating Section: Physical Activity for Health Learning Outcome: 12.1

94) Compare and contrast muscular strength and muscular endurance and give an example of each. Answer: (Answers will vary): Muscular strength is the amount of force an individual muscle or group of muscles can generate in one contraction. In contrast, muscular endurance is the ability of an individual muscle or group of muscles to generate force repeatedly or to sustain force without fatigue. Thus, both concepts are associated with muscular force, but whereas muscle strength might help you lift a heavy box, muscle endurance would help you carry the box from your car to your apartment.

98) Explain why carbohydrate intake is so important prior to vigorous exercise or training sessions. Answer: Carbohydrates are the body's main source of fuel for physical activity. The body can store carbohydrates as glycogen, primarily in the liver and muscles; when you are physically active, the body can readily break down this stored glycogen to glucose, which can be quickly used to meet immediate energy needs. For more moderate exercise, especially of long duration, fats become an important source of energy.

Diff: 1 Skill: Remembering Section: Cardiovascular Disease in the United States Learning Outcome: 13.1 107) Describe the journey that an oxygen-depleted drop of blood would take from a capillary bed in your toes to your lungs. Answer: Oxygen-depleted blood in the capillary beds enters a venule, which carries it to a vein, from which it travels to the inferior vena cava, which releases it into the right atrium, which releases it into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary arteries, which take it to the lungs.

Include the underlying causes, basic effects on the brain and on physical and mental abilities, and the significance of the FAST tool. Answer: A stroke occurs when the blood supply is cut off by plaque formation or a blood clot within a cerebral artery (an artery serving the brain). It can also occur when an artery in the brain ruptures, often because of an aneurysm. Either event deprives the affected brain region of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in the death of brain cells and subsequent speech impairments, memory loss, and loss of motor control. The "FAST" signs of a stroke include Facial drooping or numbness, Arm weakness or numbness, and Speech difficulties, all of which indicate that it is Time to act. Left untreated, a severe stroke can be fatal. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: The Major Cardiovascular Diseases Learning Outcome: 13.3

109) Should you be concerned about your cholesterol intake? Why or why not? Answer: Answers will vary. Your body can synthesize all of the cholesterol you need, so technically speaking, you don't have to consume any cholesterol in your diet. In people who consume animal-based foods containing cholesterol, such as red meat, eggs, and cheese, the body still produces about 75 percent of total cholesterol. Until 2015, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans advised limiting cholesterol intake. However, recommendations are changing to emphasize consumption of heart-healthy unsaturated fats from a plant-based diet and from essential omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and other fatty fish, and to avoid consumption of any trans fats at all. Recommendations also advise reducing consumption of added sugars and sodium. In short, there is no convincing evidence that consumption of dietary cholesterol, for most people, increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Diff: 5 Skill: Evaluating Section: Reducing Your Risks Learning Outcome: 13.4 110) Identify three common groups of medications currently used to treat cardiovascular disease. Answer: Among the most common groups of drugs for cardiovascular disease are statins, which are used to lower blood cholesterol levels; ACE inhibitors, which help blood vessels to relax, thereby lowering blood pressure; and beta-blockers, which reduce blood pressure by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, thereby slowing the heartbeat. Diff: 2 Skill: Understanding Section: Diagnosing and Treating Cardiovascular Disease Learning Outcome: 13.5 111) Compare and contrast benign and malignant tumors. How are they similar and how are they different? Answer: Both benign and malignant tumors are neoplasms, new growths of tissue made up of abnormal cells that divide uncontrolled and serve no purpose. Most neoplasms are benign, or noncancerous. These are encapsulated and harmless unless they begin to disrupt the growth or function of normal tissue. A benign brain tumor, for example, can cause fatal changes in the surrounding brain tissue. In contrast, malignant tumors are not encapsulated. Instead, they are able to invade nearby tissues, shedding their abnormal cells into the bloodstream and lymphatic system in a process known as metastasis. This process enables the growth of new tumors in body regions and organs distant from where the cancer first appeared. Diff: 5 Skill: Evaluating Section: An Overview of Cancer Learning Outcome: 13.6

112) Explain why an American male's 42 percent lifetime risk for cancer and an American female's 33 percent lifetime risk for cancer may or may not apply to you. Answer: Lifetime risk for a population of males or females represents the statistical average. Included in this calculation are certain percentages of people with genetic, behavioral, social, and environmental risk factors you might or might not share. It is more accurate and more helpful to think about your own personal cancer risk, which takes into account your precise heredity, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and other factors. If, for example, you do not have known genetic risks, do not smoke, maintain a healthy body weight, eat a nourishing diet, engage in regular physical activity, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, practice safe sex, have recommended cancer screenings, and avoid environmental and other carcinogens to the extent possible, then your risk for cancer is likely to be significantly lower than the average lifetime risk for your sex.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Skill: Understanding Section: Preventing and Treating Diabetes Learning Outcome: 13a.3 54) All people with type 2 diabetes can control it with lifestyle changes and will never need to take insulin. Answer: FALSE Diff: 2 Skill: Understanding Section: Preventing and Treating Diabetes Learning Outcome: 13a.3 55) Explain the primary differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Answer: Type 1 is a genetic autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the insulin-making cells of the pancreas. This results in a rapid decrease in—or total cessation of—insulin production. Type 2 diabetes develops slowly over time and is related to genetics and biology, age, ethnicity, and lifestyle factors, especially overweight and obesity, low levels of physical activity, a poor diet, inadequate sleep, and stress. Over time, although production of insulin may be increased, cells become resistant to its effects. Hyperproduction of insulin damages the pancreas and insulin output eventually declines, causing a persistent rise in blood glucose. A person with type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections. A person with type 2 can sometimes control it through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, oral medications. In some cases, they must inject insulin.

Answer: Women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of high blood pressure, high blood acidity, infection, and death. They are more likely to experience a spontaneous abortion and preeclampsia, and to require cesarean birth. They also have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes in the decade following the birth. The fetus of a woman with gestational diabetes may become excessively large, with an increased risk for birth trauma; malformations of the heart, nervous system, and bones; respiratory distress; and fetal death. Other risks to the newborn include hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and respiratory distress. Even after an uncomplicated birth, the newborn is at risk for high insulin levels and fluctuations in blood glucose, and for obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes later in life.

57) Explain why people with diabetes that is poorly managed are at increased risk for amputations, especially of the toes and feet. Answer: Tissue damage from trauma and infections, especially in the feet, are a frequent threat to people with diabetes, in part because their weakened immune system is less able to heal traumatic injury or conquer infection quickly. At the same time, nerve damage reduces sensation in the extremities, allowing people with diabetes to be unaware of traumatic or infectious tissue damage until it has progressed. Moreover, high blood glucose damages blood vessels serving the limbs and impairs delivery of nutrients to assist in wound healing; thus, amputations are often necessary.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Skill: Understanding Section: HIV/AIDS Learning Outcome: 14.6 87) If pathogenic microorganisms are all around us, including in the air, on surfaces, and even on our own skin, explain why we don't all develop new infectious diseases every day. Answer: Three conditions must be present at the same time to develop disease from exposure to a microorganism. 1) There must be contact—through broken skin, inhalation, and so forth—between the interior of the human body and a pathogen virulent enough to overcome the body's defenses and sustain itself long enough to cause infectious disease. Skin, for example, is the body's first defense: pathogens are not able to gain entry in a person with intact skin, but can gain entry to the body via a cut or burn, then multiply, typically in the bloodstream. 2) The host must be susceptible; that is, vulnerable in some way to the infection. Most obviously, the host's body temperature, chemistry, and cellular make-up must be hospitable to the pathogen involved. This explains why, for example, a certain type of microorganism that is pathogenic in dogs may not be pathogenic in humans. Moreover, within any given community, some people have a strong immune system, whereas others—including the very young, the very old, pregnant women, and people who are ill—have a compromised immune system unable to destroy the pathogen before it replicates to cause disease. 3) The environment must allow for the pathogen's survival. Factors such as temperature, light, and moisture must be hospitable to the pathogen. Pathogenic microorganisms in contaminated foods cannot reproduce in your freezer, for example, but can replicate quickly in the same food left out on your kitchen counter.

88) Compare and discuss factors you can control and factors you cannot control to prevent the onset of infectious disease. Answer: Heredity cannot be controlled; once you are conceived, your genetic composition and family history have been determined. Likewise, you cannot control your age. The majority of our environmental conditions are beyond our individual control, such as global warming and natural disasters (although we can control our response to these factors by being aware and prepared). The development of resistant organisms is beyond our control. We can reduce our personal risk by taking antibiotics only when necessary (not for viral infections) and by completing all antibiotic therapies as directed. The factors we can control have the greatest impact on our risk for infectious disease. These behaviors include the following: • Control stress. We cannot eliminate stressors, but we can control our responses to stressors, thus decreasing the effects of chronic stress such as obesity, heart disease, and decreased immunity. • Eat a healthy diet, be physically fit, and get adequate sleep. • Avoid high-risk behaviors such as smoking, misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and having unprotected sex. For airborne diseases such as COVID-19, avoid gathering in crowds when possible; social distance; and wear a high-quality mask. • Practice good personal hygiene, including good hand-washing practices.

Answer: (Any three of the following) • Antibiotics are widely used in food production. Many people believe antibiotics in our food supply are leading to the development of resistant organisms. An individual may try to avoid or limit their ingestion of antibiotic-rich substances. The individual's contribution in this way is made more difficult if proper and complete labeling of food products is not required. • Incorrect use of antibiotics aids the development of resistant organisms. Individuals can do their part by taking antibiotics as directed (i.e., do not skip doses and continue to take the drug until the regimen is complete even if symptoms are gone). • People often want and expect their health care provider to prescribe antibiotics for virtually any illness. Many health care providers continue to prescribe antibiotics for illnesses not caused by bacteria. An individual can do their part by modifying their own expectations of their health care provider and by asking if the prescribed antibiotic is necessary to treat their particular illness. • Incorrect disposal of antibiotics in the toilet or in household waste leads to contamination of waterways and soils. Finish the entire amount of the drug as prescribed. • Many soaps and cleaning products are antibacterial which, combined with inadequate handwashing, may lead to growth of resistant organisms. Individuals should not use antibacterial soap products for routine hand-washing and should wash their hands at least 20 seconds with regular soap and rinse well with warm water. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: The Process of Infection Learning Outcome: 14.1 90) Mark sliced his hand picking up a piece of broken glass, and failed to clean the wound thoroughly. As a result, he has developed an infection. Identify the signs and symptoms Mark is most likely experiencing. Answer: The infection has likely produced the four cardinal signs of inflammation: redness, swelling, pain, and heat. As the pathogen damages cells and tissues in the region, and the immune system floods the region with immune cells and chemicals, swelling, redness, and heat occur. Swelling exerts pressure on nerve endings, causing pain. Mark will also experience a fever as his immune system responds to the infection.

91) Propose at least two arguments in support of vaccination against potentially fatal infectious diseases. Answer: Widespread immunization programs have a long history as one of the most effective public health measures to reduce symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths from severe infectious diseases. Smallpox, for example, has been eradicated because of global vaccination, and polio and several other vaccine-preventable diseases are extremely rare. When people who are able to choose vaccination do not get vaccinated, they risk becoming infected themselves as well as infecting others who are too young for vaccination or have medical problems that make vaccination ineffective or potentially harmful. Vaccines are safe and effective for the great majority of the population: rigorous randomized controlled clinical trials of their safety and effectiveness must be reviewed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and the CDC monitors any complaints of adverse reactions after administration begins. Overall, the danger of serious adverse effects from vaccines is miniscule compared to the dangers of being unprotected and becoming infected with vaccine-preventable diseases. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Types of Pathogens and the Diseases They Cause Learning Outcome: 14.3 92) Discuss at least three factors contributing to the current high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Answer: (Any three or more of the following.) • STIs often are asymptomatic, at least initially; thus, they can spread without individuals knowing they are infected. • There have been cuts to state and local funding of STI programs. • The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced access to STI testing and treatment. • Shame and embarrassment may prevent infected people from seeking diagnosis and treatment. They may continue to be sexually active, thus infecting their partners. • People may not be comfortable communicating with partners about using condoms and other forms of safer sex. • Many people have casual attitudes about sex without consideration of the consequences. • In spite of massive educational efforts, there is still ignorance about infections, transmission of those infections, and the asymptomatic nature of many STIs. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Sexually Transmitted Infections Learning Outcome: 14.4 93) Identify the key difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2. What infectious disease do they cause, and what body areas do the two types infect? Answer: The key difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2 is that HSV-1 is much more common. It is estimated to infect between 50 and 80 percent of all adults, whereas HSV-2 is thought to infect about 17 percent of adults. Both types cause herpes and can infect any area of the body.

94) State two reasons that early detection of HIV infection is critical. Answer: The earlier HIV infection is diagnosed, the earlier it can be treated, and treatment can slow the progression of HIV to AIDS. Moreover, early detection is critical to avoid transmitting the infection to others, whether via shared contaminated needles or exchange of bodily fluids. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: HIV/AIDS Learning Outcome: 14.6 95) Explain the link between HIV infection and the development of opportunistic infections. Answer: HIV destroys helper T cells, which play key roles in both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Without robust immunity, pathogens that the immune system could otherwise easily vanquish can reproduce unchecked and cause disease. Opportunistic infections that are characteristic of full-blown AIDS include fungal infections, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Certain types of cancer are also more likely to occur in people with AIDS.

65) Explain what happens in the body during an asthma attack. Answer: Air enters the respiratory system via the nose and mouth and travels through the bronchial tubes. During an asthma attack, the muscles of the bronchial tubes constrict, and the air passages become inflamed and clogged with mucus. This makes it difficult for the person to breathe. The person may also experience wheezing and coughing.

If a fireplace or woodburning stove is present in the apartment, check it to ensure it is not spewing smoke or particulate matter. • Avoid cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoke. Don't vape. • Wash sofa cushions, pillows, and sheets regularly, and vacuum regularly. Use pillow and mattress protectors. • If you choose to have a pet but animal dander is a problem, try a non-shedding breed of dog or cat. Keep pets off the bed. • Keep your home clean and pest free; dust mites, cockroaches, and other vermin may trigger allergic reactions. • Make sure that you and your apartment-mate always know the location of asthma medications and that you know how to help if your apartment-mate has an attack.

Also invest in a quality mattress. • Maintain a healthy body weight to avoid extra strain on your knees, hips, and back. • Maintain your strength and fitness. Exercise regularly and include exercises which strengthen core abdominal muscles and stretch the back muscles. • Lift objects using your legs, not your back. That is, do not bend from the waist to lift heavy objects; instead, keep the object close to your body and bend your knees while keeping your head down and your back straight. • Quit smoking. Smoking reduces blood flow to the lower spine, which can contribute to spinal disc degeneration. • Limit what you carry in your backpack.

If you go alone, take notes. • Ask the practitioner to explain the problem and possible tests, treatments, and medications. If you don't understand anything, ask for explanations in simpler language. • If the provider prescribes medication, ask whether you can take a generic version. • Ask for a written summary of the results of your visit and any lab tests. • Seek a second opinion about important tests or treatment recommendations. • After an appointment, write down an account of what happened and what was said. • When filling prescriptions, make sure the pharmacist provides you with information about the drugs and their possible interactions, and read it.

81) Andy has been taking a prescription antidepressant for 10 weeks and reports feeling less depressed since he began taking the medication. How can Andy be certain that his response isn't attributable to the placebo effect? Can he? And if not, what could he do to increase his understanding of his drug response? Answer: Answer will vary. Students may discuss concepts similar to the following: He cannot be certain. Researchers agree that expectations do influence human physiology. A recent review study of thousands of clinical trials of antidepressants concluded that their benefits reflect a combination of effects, including pharmacological and placebo effects. Not only mood, but pain and observable physical signs such as tremor respond to the placebo effect. Andy could conduct some research into the drug that he is taking, reading the published clinical studies or at least the abstracts of the studies. He could also ask his prescriber for more thorough information about the evidence for the effectiveness of the drug.

Answer: Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who obtain additional training and certification, typically through a master's degree program or specialized NP program. They may conduct or order diagnostic tests and, in many states, prescribe medication. Registered nurses typically have either a 4-year bachelor of science in nursing or a 2-year associate's degree in nursing. They must then pass a national certification exam in nursing. Licensed practical/vocational nurses typically have completed a 1-year or 2-year training program, often at a community college or in a large hospital, and have passed a licensing exam. Diff: 2 Skill: Understanding Section: Conventional Health Care Learning Outcome: 15.2 83) Explain why generic drugs are typically much less expensive than brand-name drugs. Answer: Generic drugs cost less because their manufacturers did not have to pay for the clinical trials that demonstrated the original drug's safety and effectiveness and thus supported its entry onto the market. In addition, once a patent on a brand-name drug expires, many different manufacturers can produce generic versions. This competition between multiple manufacturers reduces cost.

Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Issues Facing Today's Health Care System Learning Outcome: 15.4 88) Are you in favor of a national single-payer health insurance program in the United States? Support your answer with reasons why or why not. Answer: Answers will vary. Students may make arguments similar to the following: Yes; everyone should have access to affordable health care as a basic human right. Many other countries have successful programs that are cost effective. Currently, uninsured individuals increase system-wide costs by waiting to seek care until they are critically ill and foregoing expensive prescription drugs that they cannot afford. They would be more likely to seek preventive care if it were covered, and earlier intervention would cut costs and save lives. Healthy individuals contribute to society in multiple ways that individuals struggling with chronic illness cannot. In our current system, insured individuals end up paying higher prices for health care since the industry tries to offset costs incurred by treating uninsured or underinsured individuals. Moreover, considerable savings would be achieved by reducing administrative costs currently incurred by the thousands of different health insurance plans, as well as office costs for providers who must bill a variety of insurance companies, payments, etc. A single-payer plan could also purchase medical devices, medications, etc., in bulk, reducing the average costs. It would also protect Americans from catastrophic economic losses, including bankruptcy, that can occur when medical bills exceed a family's ability to pay them. No; health care is not a right, as it is not covered by the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. Ensuring their personal health is an individual's responsibility. Many individuals do not take care of their health. Moreover, many individuals can afford health coverage but choose—and have a right—to decline it. A single-payer system would entail enormous costs for changing the health care infrastructure and covering all Americans. It would have to be funded through higher taxes or through cuts in defense spending or other federal spending. The oversight of the health care system should be left up to the free market.

69) Define the three major domains of complementary health approaches discussed in this chapter, and provide examples of each. Answer: • Complementary medical systems: These approaches reflect specific theories of physiology, health, and disease that have developed outside the influence of conventional Western medicine. Examples are traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, homeopathy, and naturopathy. • Psychological and physical approaches: This is a large and diverse group of complementary therapies administered or taught by a trained practitioner or teacher. They include manipulative therapies such as chiropractic and massage therapy, movement and relaxation therapies such as the Alexander technique and the Feldenkrais method, and therapies in which the practitioner attempts to shift the flow of body energy, such as acupuncture and acupressure. • Nutritional approaches: These include special diets, functional foods like probiotics and plants with antioxidant phytochemicals; and herbal remedies and other types of dietary supplements.

Learning Outcome: 15a.1 70) Explain why the risk of ineffective or harmful treatment is higher with providers of complementary and alternative approaches as compared to providers of conventional health care. Answer: Effective and safe treatment cannot be guaranteed from any provider; however, the risk of ineffective or unsafe treatment is higher with providers of complementary and alternative approaches because each approach has its own standards for training, certification, licensure, and practice. Terms for educational facilities, such as "college" or "institute," are not regulated, and although some practitioners might undergo several years of education and training, other practitioners might be required simply to pass a few online courses. Moreover, no national standards govern any particular approach, and state requirements for practice differ widely.

72) Explain what is meant by the statement that, with homeopathic remedies, like cures like, and contrast the approach with that of conventional pharmaceuticals. Answer: "Like cures like" means that pain or other symptoms can be reduced by taking a substance that would prompt the same symptoms, but in a dose much too dilute to actually harm the person. This minute dose is nevertheless theorized to prompt the immune system to respond, and in doing so, heal the patient's original—and similar—symptoms. For example, a homeopathic remedy to treat inflammation would be a highly diluted toxin that—in a larger dose—would provoke inflammation. In contrast, conventional pharmaceuticals treat symptoms by opposing them; thus, for example, inflammation is treated with a drug that has an antiinflammatory effect. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Complementary Medical Systems Learning Outcome: 15a.2 73) If you were to experience chronic musculoskeletal pain, would you be more likely to consider qigong or massage, and why? Answer: Answers will vary, but should include some of the following concepts: Qigong combines movement, meditation, and regulation of breathing to increase the flow of qi and improve health. A 2019 review study found that it was associated with a reduction in chronic musculoskeletal pain and was not associated with significant side effects. Massage is the manipulation of soft tissue by a trained therapist for relaxation and healing. A limited amount of research supports the effectiveness of massage to temporarily relieve musculoskeletal pain. Since both therapies have at least some research evidence supporting their effectiveness, the choice might come down to cost, convenience, or personal preference. For example, some might prefer the more passive role of the patient in massage therapy to the more active role the patient takes in qigong.

79) Explain why slowing the world's population growth is a critical environmental challenge today. Answer: Overpopulation is taxing the capacity of the earth and its natural resources to provide adequate food, water, and energy for the human population. Just since 1996, the global demand for natural resources has doubled, and each year, the global population consumes 1.6 times the resources that the Earth is able to supply. Safe disposal of waste is becoming equally difficult, and our supply of fresh water is declining. Land is being lost to overdevelopment and contamination. Many plant and animal species and entire ecosystems are being lost or harmed by the development and overconsumption of resources that occurs with overpopulation. Moreover, overpopulation plus industrialization increases the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Overpopulation Learning Outcome: 16.1 80) Define fossil fuels; identify the task that would most greatly slow climate change; and list at least three steps you can take to achieve it. Answer: Fossil fuels are carbon-based materials, such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas, that are burned for energy. Most experts agree that to slow climate change, it is critical to reduce the burning of fossil fuels. To do this, you can reduce your driving and increase your use of walking, biking, or public transportation; drive a hybrid or all-electric vehicle instead of a vehicle with a conventional combustion engine; choose energy-saving appliances; source your energy from solar or wind rather than coal-fired power plants; and reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can also shift from a meat-based to a plant-based diet to reduce methane emissions from livestock. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Overpopulation; Climate Change Learning Outcome: 16.1 and 16.2 81) Distinguish between the greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect. Answer: The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon in which atmospheric gases keep some solar heat close to Earth's surface, thereby keeping the planet's air, oceans, and land masses warm enough to sustain life. In contrast, the enhanced greenhouse effect is not a natural phenomenon, but results from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels that release excessive levels of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These cause global warming by trapping excessive levels of solar heat. Diff: 4 Skill: Analyzing Section: Climate Change Learning Outcome: 16.2

82) Your roommate smokes inside your apartment. Discuss three main steps you could take to reduce this form of indoor air pollution. Answer: 1. Control the source—insist that your roommate smoke outdoors. 2. Improve ventilation— increase the amount of fresh air coming indoors. 3. Improve the cleanliness of the indoor air— remove pollutants from the air by using an air cleaner with a high-efficiency filter. Diff: 3 Skill: Applying Section: Air Pollution Learning Outcome: 16.3 83) What potential problems could result from the Earth's increasing shortage of clean water? Propose at least three. Answer: Answers will vary but should include some of the following information: In addition to threatening a population's supply of drinking water, which can lead to dehydration, especially among children and elderly, water shortages threaten the food supply when water for irrigation of crops is limited. Water scarcity threatens the survival of a region's animal populations as well. Water is also used in industry, and widespread shortages can mean reduced availability of many commodities. As water becomes scarcer , increasing competition for the limited supply can lead to regional conflict. Moreover, people who lack clean water may turn to water sources that may be contaminated, increasing the population's risk for waterborne infectious disease. Diff: 6 Skill: Creating Section: Water Scarcity and Pollution Learning Outcome: 16.4 84) Discuss three ways you can reduce the waste you generate at home. Answer: (Any three of the following) • Reduce your consumption to prevent waste from being generated in the first place. For example, buy only the food you can use by the expiration date, and food with less packaging. Eat leftovers promptly instead of allowing them to sit in your refrigerator until they're no longer safe to eat. You can also reduce your overall consumption of resources by switching to more of a plant-based diet. In addition, before you buy a new cell phone, pair of shoes, or any other item, ask yourself if you really need it. • Recycle as much packaging and as many used items as possible, from electronic devices to clothing and furniture. • Compost your kitchen and yard trash. • Wash and reuse dishes, cups, utensils, kitchen towels, napkins, containers, and shopping bags instead of using disposable items.
