All of the above (please refer to #51) 65. Health promotion activities that the student can engage in are the following: A. Membership in fitness center B. Joining a travel club C. Consulting a dietician D. A and C 66. A patient informed you that she had a disease that could not be cured by conventional medicine and like to consider the use of complementary and alternative therapies for which no proof of efficacy exists. As the attending doctor what should be the best advice you can give. A. Yes. Go ahead and try it. B. No, it has no therapeutic claims. C. Give me the details I’ll search on it. D. Sorry, I don’t know. E. None of the above. 67. The reason for the above choice is/are: A. To analyze patient’s choice of types of therapy including Complementary Therapy B. Analyze the benefits and risks of Complementary Therapy for patients with life threatening illness C. Analyze role of Complementary Therapy in practice D. A & B E. All of the above 68. The following belongs to Non-Toxic Therapies. A. Meditation B. Positive thinking C. Vitamin/mineral therapy Prepared  by:  Christine  Lovely  G.  Mayo  ♡   PSALM  91  †

D. All of the above TOXIC THERAPIES:  Surgery – does not necessarily affect the rest of the body  Radiation – damage can be localized  Chemotherapy – affects many areas NON-TOXIC THERAPIES:  Meditation  Dietary considerations  Positive thinking  Immunological stimulants  Vitamin/mineral therapy  Wide range of so-called alternative therapies  Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) 69. The following are the so-called Conventional Therapies EXCEPT: A. Surgery B. Chemotherapy C. Radiation therapy D. Immunological stimulants (please refer to #68) 70. The most common reason why patients with life-threatening condition would consider the use of CAM is/are. A. Prolong their survival B. Alleviate the side effects of conventional cancer treatments C. Detoxify their bodies D. Boost immunity E. Enhance their overall quality of life [NOTE: Since all the choices are reasons (basing on the study), I chose the one that Dra. Bausa noted in her conclusion.  ] Most participants self-treated with CAM and perceived CAM modalities as complementary rather than alternative to conventional cancer treatments. Within this context, this group of people used CAM to prolong their survival, palliate their symptoms or alleviate the side effects of conventional cancer treatments, detoxify their bodies, boost immunity and enhance their overall quality of life. Patients with cancer want to know more about how to maintain or improve their quality of life during and after surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. (from Dra. Bausa’s conclusion about a study trying to identify in detail the reasons for using CAM among patients with advanced cancer) 71. During patient-physician encounter, physician as part of good clinical practice should: A. Foster an open non-judgmental communication with patients B. Clinicians need to be aware of what their patients are doing and their rationale for doing so. C. Screeening for physical, emotional, and spiritual discomfort associated not only with the disease Prepared  by:  Christine  Lovely  G.  Mayo  ♡   PSALM  91  †  

18  

D. A & B E. All of the above Clinicians need to be aware of what their patients are doing and their rationale for doing so. Screening for physical, emotional, and spiritual discomfort associated not only with the disease but with some of the cancer treatment needs to be given a prominent place in the clinical encounter. Fostering an open nonjudgmental communication with patients is part of good clinical practice. 72. In patients using CAM, physician should take into account all but most especially the ____________: A. Benefit B. Cost and the potential harm C. Patient’s choice D. Physicians choice E. All of the above CAM Supporting patient’s choices is an important part of palliative care. It is challenging to be providing care when patients use complementary therapies. There are issues relating to cost, and the potential for harm that need to be taken into account. 73. Role of Health Care Professional in patients considering CAM: A. Help the patients to make their own decisions B. Listening to the patient C. Finding information and asking questions D. Navigate information overload E. All of the above ROLE OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS In helping patients to make decisions as health professionals our roles are to help them to make their own decisions. This involves listening to the patient, finding information and asking questions. We may often be called upon to help navigate the “information overload” of very variable quality that is out there on the internet. 74. Which of the following describe CAM: A. Alternative medicine is frequently grouped with Complementary Medicine or Integrative Medicine B. Refers to the interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream techniques under the umbrella term complementary and alternative medicine C. Both D. Neither COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Complementary – preferred terminology to describe therapies used in conjunction with conventional treatments Alternative therapy – “umbrella term” used in the United States to describe unproven remedies and techniques; carries the implication of use instead of conventional treatment; frequently grouped with complementary medicine or integrative medicine Integrative medicine – refers to the same interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream techniques under the umbrella term complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) Prepared  by:  Christine  Lovely  G.  Mayo  ♡   PSALM  91  †

75. Patient seek and are attracted to CAM due to which factor/s: A. Dissatisfaction with conventional therapies B. Hope and self-empowerment C. Feel helpless in the face of disease progression D. Gain control over what is happening [NOTE: Since in Dra. Bausa’s conclusion she said that patients are increasingly asserting their right to choose their own therapy, this MIGHT be the best answer.] E. All of the above COMMON CRITICISMS ON CONVENTIONAL THERAPIES:  “they told me they cannot do any more”  focuses on disease instead of health  focuses on doctor instead of patient  paternalistic  practitioners are too busy  therapies are harmful  undervalues social, psychological and spiritual aspects  practiced by doctors who are poor role models for health  part of a conspiracy (e.g. cancer cures are kept secret in order to maintain pharmaceutical companies profits) As part of a general cultural change, patients are increasingly asserting their right to choose their own therapy, whether their doctors approve or not (from Dra. Bausa’s summary) 76. The purpose of having knowledge of Long Term Care Services is to: A. To have an idea of the continuum of long term care services B. To know the specific services provided within the continuum C. Identify patients who need and use long term care D. B & C E. All of the above Long term care services – includes a broad spectrum of care generally utilized by individuals with severe medical and social problems that limit normal residential living; armada of services, both related and social, that are needed to help individuals who are fully or partially impaired in their conduct of daily living activities; continuum of care TARGET GROUPS  Disabled – may be due to physical or mental health problems; restriction/prevention of performance; long term care services include emotional support services as well o Impairment – permanent or transitory psychological, physiological or anatomical loss or abnormality of structure or function o Handicap – disability that constitutes a disadvantage for a given individual in that it limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal depending on age, sex, social and cultural factors of that individual o A physical disability or health impairment is not a handicap unless it limits the individual’s participation in routine activities.  Elderly – long term care is used primarily by frail elderlies who because of reduced physical vigor (may or may not involve loss of mental acuity) can no longer be solely responsible for their own maintenance and functioning Prepared  by:  Christine  Lovely  G.  Mayo  ♡   PSALM  91  †

because it is 1) wasteful of resources, 2) demoralizing for the patient, and 3) alienating for the family physician Split referral – takes place under conditions of multispecialist practice, when responsibility is divided more or less evenly between two or more physicians (px is a diabetic and also has an ischemic heart disease); disadvantage: nobody knows who has overall responsibility for the px

WHEN TO REFER:  Px or family expresses doubt or shows lack of confidence in the diagnosis or management o Readiness of physican to consult is a sign of maturity and self-confidence  Family physician himself is dissatisfied with the px’s progress or is unsure of the diagnosis RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE REFERRING PHYSICIAN:  Selection of the consultant  Adequate transfer of information  Patient preparation and compliance  Evaluation of information  Feedback consultant DIRECTION: The kinds of team in IDA and types of referral are written on the lettered choices.

A (please refer to #s 91–95) CASE Maria is a married, 32 y/o mother of three. She has been discharged from the hospital against medical advice after a 3-day stay with a medical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and fracture of the left proximal humerus. She had initially gone to the emergency room of the hospital for treatment of her “broken arm” after a “fall down the basement stairs.” During her stay in the hospital, Maria appeared depressed and sullen, avoided eye contact, and answered all questions with one or two words. It was also noted that she had not any visitors during her stay. It was decided that a home care follow-up was indicated because Maria seemed to be vague and insecure about her condition even though she verbalized a complete understanding of her diet and medications. During the first home visit by the FHC team (family health care) the house appeared cluttered but was relatively clean. Empty beer bottles were noted. Maria appeared tense and agitated. Maria told the FHC team, “Let’s get this over with fast before my husband arrives. He does not want strangers in the house.” Maria revealed that she has an 8-y/o daughter who is her biggest help. Her other children are a 6-y/o son and a 5-y/o daughter. She never mentioned her husband. When probed about it, she averted her eyes and looked fearful. Maria said, “He is a wonderful father and husband when he is not drunk. We just have to act better so he’ll love us enough to stop drinking.” DIRECTION: Write the letter of the BEST answer. 106.
