A local company is attempting to decrease its insurance costs and embarks on several changes in its corporate attitude about health. It institutes low fat, heart-healthy food selections in the cafeteria, employs a fitness consultant for the workforce
, and encourages the staff to use the stairs rather than the elevators for anything less than two floors. The scope of the company's changes would be considered:
1. Health promotion.
2. Eliminating hazardous conditions.
3. Comprehensive.
4. Family-oriented.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. An occupational health program that uses wellness as an approach to improve the health of employees through awareness, lifestyle change, and a change in environmental conditions is considered comprehensive in scope. Employing a fitness consultant helps to develop awareness in the employees to create lifestyle changes. Lifestyle changes and changing environmental conditions such as instituting dietary changes in the cafeteria and encouraging the use of stairs is indicative of a comprehensive program. The measures described are not eliminating hazardous conditions. While these measures are considered health promotion, health promotion is just one aspect of this program. It is not definitively family-oriented, because these changes are targeted toward the employee only.

A patient presents at the walk-in clinic complaining of stomach pain that is relieved by eating which the nurse suspects is caused by a peptic ulcer. How would the nurse explain the ulceration in the stomach to the patient?
A) A mucosal lining protects the stomach from hydrochloric acid and a reduction in the mucosal lining or increase in acid production allows peptic ulcers to develop. B) After digesting food, the stomach secretes a neutralizing solution to make the pH of the stomach neutral and if this doesn't occur peptic ulcers can develop. C) Our body makes hydrochloric acid for the digestion of the food we eat and that can eat right through the stomach causing ulceration when you eat a diet high in spicy food. D) Acid is secreted by cells in the first part of the small intestine and when we eat the acid flows into the stomach so people who eat often have more exposure to acid.
