A nurse is seeing a patient for a wellness checkup and collects data on the patient's family history of medical problems. The nurse would evaluate that goals for related teaching have been met when the patient states,
a. "Exercise is important for me because I lead such a sedentary lifestyle already."
b. "I have a family history of heart disease, so I must make heart-healthy choices."
c. "I know now that my mother's breast cancer does not really impact me."
d. "The chances of developing a disease are not greater if a relative has had it."
B
Teaching goals have been met when the patient states an understanding that having relatives with heart disease increases his or her own risk of developing heart disease and so should take precautions to avoid it.
Exercise is important for everyone, especially those who are sedentary, but this is not related to the information found in the family history.
Having relatives with specific diseases, particularly if they are first-degree relatives, greatly increases one's chance of developing the diseases.
