dyspareunia | painful intercourse |
Taking a Sexual History | The Five P’s: Partners, Practices, Protection from STDs, Past history of STDs, Prevention of pregnancy |

Define stress | - a disruptive condition that occurs in response to adverse influences from the internal or external environments |
adaptive coping strategies | Adaptive coping strategies improve functioning. Examples: seeking support from others, finding meaning in the stressful experience, keeping physically fit, humor |
maladaptive coping strategies | Maladaptive coping strategies only reduce symptoms temporarily. They are a short term solution. Examples: substance abuse, escape, dissociation, safety behaviors, anxiety avoidance |
stressors | internal or external event or situation that creates the potential for physiologic, emotional, cognitive, or behavioral changes in an individual |
3 broad classes of stressors | 1.day to day (traffic jam, etc) 2.types that effect large groups, even nations (war, terrorism, live news) 3.life events - birth, divorce, marriage, health. (time-limited, sequence, chronic) |
Which class of stressors impacts health the most? | Daily. Due to the cumulative effect |
Responses to stress - the mediating process | Intentionally or unintentionally, we respond psychologically to see how we can manage the situation. 2 parts - appraisal and coping. |
2 steps of cognitive appraisal | 1. what is at stake (primary) and 2. What can be done (secondary). Primary determines if it is stressful or not. |
Physiological response to stress | protective adaptation mechanism to maintain homeostatic balance of the body. |
If the stressor disrupts homeostasis to the point where adaptation to the stressor fails, what happens? | disease process results |
Adaptation a la Selye | The GAS theory. I love that. It stands for general adaptation syndrome. It was initially Flight And React Timely Syndrome (F.A.R.T.S) |
Describe the alarm phase | Fight or flight is activated. Release of epi and norepi and ACTH (the adrenal cortical response). Defensive,antiinflam, selflimiting. |
Describe the second stage - Resistance | adaptation to the stressor occurs and cortical activity still increases. If continued, this will lead to.... |
Stage 3 - exhaustion | The No Can Do stage. Endocrine activity increases and so taxes systems, it can lead to death. |
What is LAS | Local Adaptation Syndrome - inflamm. response and repair process at local site of tissue damage. If injury is large enough, GAS. |
63. Explain how Selye’s local adaptation syndrome (LAS) is different from the GAS | • GAS affects the whole body, while LAS affects a certain area of the body • LAS is at the site of the injury • However, if the injury is widespread, GAS can come into effect, such as full thickness burns over 40% of the body |
Physiological responses to stress are mediated by the ____ | Brain |
This maintains homeostatic balance | hypothalamus |
64. Discuss the inflammatory response: What triggers it | a defensive reaction intended to neutralize, control, or eliminate the the offending agent and to prepare the site for repair • It can be triggered by many factors • Bee sting • Sore throat • Surgical incision • Burn site • Cellular injury and death |
what physiological changes occur on the vascular level? | Physiological changes:vascular or cellular • Vascular • Vasodilation • Increased blood flow • Increased capillary permeability • Local tissue congestion |
what physiological changes occur on the cellular level? | •Cellular • Phagocytosis (cell death) • Increased Leukocytes (granulocytes and monocytes) • Release of chemical mediators (mast cells and macrophages) |
Describe the effects of prolonged stress and unsuccessful adaptation on the various body systems. | • Prolonged stress can cause the level of Epi, Nor-E, and ATCH to not decrease • Unsuccessful adaptation can result in tachycardia, hypertension, glycosuria, |
contrast crisis and burnout. | Burnout is when you have dealt with the crisis for so long, you can't deal with it any longer. |
Reliable indicators of stress | Blood levels of catecholamines, glucocorticoids, ACTh, eosinophils. Also, Serum cholesterol and free fatty acid levels. |
Denial, avoidance and distancing are all examples of what? | inappropriate coping skills/mechanisms. |
Enhanced coping techniques to offer patient | Try to be optimistic/gain control/ do research/ use spiritual support/ practice acceptance |
Benson's ______ response | well accepted relaxation practice |
Health spectrum/continuum | fluid and changing. Go for a run, feel healthy in the a.m. Heartburn at lunch, feel unhealthy... Okay at dinner, feel moderately healthy. |
5 stage of illness behavior - stage 1 | 1. symptom stage - decision that something is wrong. |
Stage 2 | 2. assumption of the sick role stage - when the individual accepts that the symptoms are a sign of illness |
Stage 3 | 3. medical care contact stage - seeks medical care |
Stage 4 | 4. dependent patient role stage - patient is to make every effort to get well |
Stage 5 | 5. Recovery or rehabilitation - get well or get used to it |
Acute vs. chronic | Acute is short duration. Chronic is lasting longer than 6 months. |
Identify factors that influence individual’s responses to illness | Lifestyle, relationships, culture, spirituality, environmental factors, socioeconomic factors. |
The purpose of health promotion is ... | to focus on the patient’s potential for wellness and to encourage appropriate alterations in personal habits, lifestyle, and environment. Wellness involves a conscious and deliberate attempt, and involves a plan and conscious commitment. |
Discuss Healthy People 2020 report as it relates to health promotion | Goals set by the federal government based on leading causes of death aimed to increase quality of life and eliminate disparities. |
Pender’s Health Promotion Model | based on the social learning theory, cognitive perpetual factors affect view of the importance of health. Examines control, self-efficacy, health status,benefits and barriers. All this is done by contemplation, determination, action and maintenance. |
Prochaska and DiClemente’s four stages of change. Stage 1 | Precontemplation - denial, don't have a problem, defend bad habits, excuses |
Stage 2 | Contemplation ~ maybe they have a problem. Recognize personal consequences of bad choices. Teeter tooter about changing. |
Stage 3 | Preparation ~ move from "I should do something about this" to "What can I do about it?" |
Stage 4 | Action/Willpower. Normally the shortest of all stages. |
Stage 5 | Maintenance |
Differentiate between loss and grief | Loss is any situation. Grief is the personal feelings that accompany an anticipated or actual loss; physical and psychological responses that occur following a loss. |
Grief vs. bereavement | grief is the actual feeling of the loss of the person. Bereavement is all of the accompanying issues ~ loneliness, sadness. |

Create a time line of the dying process | Lungs become unable to provide adequate gas diffusion/Heart and blood vessels become unable to maintain adequate tissue perfusion/ The brain ceases to regulate vital centers/ Cheyne-stokes respirations and “death rattle” |
Identify legal issues involved in death and dying | •The patient self-determination act- •Living will •Durable POA/health care proxy •health care surrogate law •DNR •Assisted suicide •Euthanasia •Autopsy •Organ donation |
