Disease Prevention
This level of disease prevention takes action to reduce harm caused by medical intervention.
What is Quaternary Prevention?
This organ is known as the "master gland", is located at the base of the brain just behind the bridge of the nose, and regulates many body functions by secreting hormones to support body regulation.
What is the pituitary gland?
This disorder of the pancreas is evidenced by fatigue, polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, and vision changes. It is caused by reduced or cessation of insulin production by the pancreas.
What is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?
This patient population is at higher risk for UTIs due to a shorter urethra.
What are females?
This type of incontinence is typically d/t weakness of urethral sphincter or pelvic floor muscles.
What is stress incontinence?
This level of disease prevention is focused on social and economic policies that impact health to reduce risk factors that could lead to disease.
What is Primordial Prevention?
This organ uses the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate the amount of glucose present in the blood.
What is the pancreas?
This disorder of the adrenal gland is manifested by fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, hypotension, and weight loss. It is classified as either primary or secondary based on the cause.
What is Addison's Disease?
This antiobiotic is the first line treatment for UTIs, is typically a 3 day dose, but shouldn't be used in those with sulfa allergies.
What is Bactrim (or trimethorprim/sulfamethoxazole)?
This type of incontinence can be due to detrusor muscle overactivity that causes bladder contraction, could be loss of neuro control or irritated bladder
What is urge incontinence?
This level of disease prevention works to prevent injury and disease after exposure has occurred but before the disease has manifested itself.
What is Secondary prevention?
What is the adrenal gland(s)?
This disorder of the pituitary gland is characterized by broadened hands, feet, and face; visual field defects; and headaches.
What is Acromegaly?
This type of UTI may result in permanent kidney damage or even loss of life if not treated appropriately.
What is the pyelonephritis?
This type of incontinence is from an overdistended bladder which could be from pelvic organ prolapse, abdominal or pelvic masses, bph, or even severe constipation
What is overflow incontinence?
This level of disease prevention reduces the risk factors that lead to injury or disease (example: vaccine/immunizations to prevent illness).
What is Primary Prevention?
This gland is responsible for body temperature regulation, metabolism, and determining satiety.
What is the hypothalamus?
This disorder of the thyroid is characterized by exophthalmos, goiter, skin thickening, insomnia, heat intolerance, fatigue, and weight loss.
What is Graves Disease?
These lab values are often increased in patients with UTI.
What is elevated wbc, and bacteria/leuk esterase/nitrites in ua?
This condition occurs when the bladder is unable to empty fully.
What is urinary retention?
This level of prevention reduces the complications for those who have the disease or illness (example: rehab after a stroke).
What is Tertiary Prevention?
This gland regulates sleep through the hormone melatonin.
What is the pineal gland?
This disorder of the hypothalamus is characterized by polydipsia and polyuria.
What is central diabetes insipidus?
