Population Health and Chronic Disease Management, Exams of Nursing

A comprehensive overview of population health, including key concepts such as health, homeostasis, human potential, and harmony. It delves into the nine key elements of a population health approach, the four sub-concepts of population health (health promotion, illness and injury prevention, chronic disease management, and epidemiology), and the role of nurses in addressing health inequities. The document also covers primary care, primary health care, the distinction between illness and disease, the determinants of health (doh), and the social determinants of health (sdoh). Additionally, it explores critical thinking approaches (upstream, midstream, and downstream), the levels of prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary), and the expanded chronic care model. The document concludes by discussing morbidity, mortality, the epidemiological triad, and the chain of infection, as well as the 5 a's in chronic disease self-management (cdsm) support.
