2. Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in
meters. A high BMI can indicate high body fatness. BMI screens for weight categories that may
lead to health problems, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.

Hearing Tests- are how healthcare providers determine if you have hearing loss. Hearing tests
don’t require special preparation and don’t hurt. Hearing tests may be screenings to see if you
can hear or evaluations to find out if you have hearing issues. (Professional, C. C. M., n.d.)
Vision Screening Test is a brief test that mainly checks how well you can see things up close
and far away. It's also called an eye test. The test usually involves reading letters on an eye chart.
A vision screening is a quick way to find out if you need a comprehensive (complete) eye exam.

What are the consequences and implications?

 Moderate and severe thinness: A BMI < 17.0 indicates moderate and severe thinness in
adult populations. It has been linked to clear-cut increases in illness in adults studied in
three continents and is therefore a further reasonable value to choose as a cut-off point for
moderate risk. A BMI < 16.0 is known to be associated with a markedly increased risk for ill
health, poor physical performance, lethargy, and even death; this cut-off point is, therefore,
a valid extreme limit.

5
  Underweight: The cut-off points of 18.5 for underweight in both genders has less
experimental validity as a cut-off point for moderate and severe thinness but is a reasonable value
for use pending further, comprehensive studies. The proportion of the population with a low
BMI that is considered a public health problem is closely linked to the resources available
for correcting the problem, the stability of the environment, and government priorities. About
3–5% of the healthy adult population have a BMI < 18.5.
 Overweight: Overweight (BMI ≥ 25) is a major determinant of many non-communicable
diseases, including non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and
stroke, and increases the risks for several types of cancer, gallbladder disease,
musculoskeletal disorders, and respiratory symptoms. In some populations, the metabolic
consequences of weight gain start at modest levels of overweight.
 Obesity: Obesity (BMI ≥ 30) is a disease that is largely preventable through lifestyle changes. The
costs attributable to obesity are high, not only in terms of premature death and health care
but also in terms of disability and a diminished quality of life.

Day 3
A. Hearing Test:
Hearing tests are how healthcare providers determine if you have hearing loss. You may have several
hearing tests in your lifetime. Hearing tests are how people can find out if they have hearing loss.
Different kinds of hearing tests use different techniques to identify hearing loss. One common test
uses audiometry and the audiogram to identify hearing loss and show test results. Hearing tests don’t
require special preparation and don’t hurt. (Professional, C. C. M., n.d.)
What are the types of hearing tests?
There are several types of hearing tests. Some tests are typically used to check adults’ hearing and
others are used for babies, children, and adults. Hearing test types include:
 Pure-tone testing: This common hearing test finds the quietest volume you can hear at each
pitch. Children and adults have pure-tone testing.
 Bone conduction testing: This test is used to see if you have wax or fluid blocking your outer
ear or middle ear, or if hearing loss is present in the sensory cells of hearing.
 Speech testing: Adults and some children may have this kind of hearing test. Speech testing
involves listening to and repeating certain words. The test shows how you understand speech.
 Auditory brainstem response (ABR): This test checks the connections or pathways between
your inner ear and brain. Audiologists may use this test to check hearing in children and
people who can’t complete pure-tone tests. They may also use this test for people who have a
brain injury that affects their hearing.
 Otoacoustic emissions test (OAE): Audiologists use this test to check your inner ear
function.
 Tympanometry: This test checks how well your eardrum moves. Audiologists may do
tympanometry tests to see if you have a ruptured eardrum, if you have fluid in your middle
ear or wax in your ear canal.

B. Vision Screening
What is vision screening?

6
A vision screening is a brief test that mainly checks how well you can see things up close and far away.
It's also called an eye test. The test usually involves reading letters on an eye chart. A vision screening
is a quick way to find out if you need a comprehensive (complete) eye exam. A complete exam checks
both your vision and eye health. It looks for signs of serious eye disorders that may not have
symptoms, such as glaucoma. (MedlinePlus., n.d.)

Children provider will use special vision screening tests to look for signs of common eye conditions
that need early treatment to prevent long-term loss of vision. These eye conditions include:
● Amblyopia. Children with amblyopia have poor vision that usually happens in just one eye.
It's caused by a problem with how the brain and eye work together. It's sometimes called "lazy
eye." Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children.
● Strabismus. This condition causes each eye to look in a different direction. One or both eyes
may turn in ("cross-eyes") or turn out ("walleyes"). If strabismus isn't corrected, it can cause
amblyopia and permanent eye damage.
Screening for problems with near and far vision is used to help find common vision problems that can
be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses. In certain cases, eye surgery may also be an option.
These conditions include:
● Nearsightedness (myopia), a condition that makes far away things look blurry.
● Farsightedness (hyperopia), a condition that makes close-up things look blurry.
● Astigmatism, which causes generally blurry vision and makes it hard to see at night.
● Presbyopia (only in middle-aged adults and older), this condition makes it hard to see things up
close. It's a normal part of aging that makes the lens of the eye less flexible. Presbyopia often
begins around age 45.

Day 4
C. Scoliosis Test:
 A scoliosis exam allows doctors to see whether the spine has a curve. People with scoliosis
can have a single curve, creating a “C” shape, or a double curve, creating an “S” shape.
 Scoliosis exams are physical examinations involving exercises that allow a doctor to see the
shape of the spine. They are neither painful nor invasive, and they require no preparation.
 Scoliosis sometimes appears as a child or teenager grows and develops. Detecting scoliosis at this
stage allows a doctor to monitor the curve of the spine and recommend treatment if the curve is
severe enough to warrant it.
 A scoliosis exam is a type of physical examination that a doctor performs in their office.
 There are two types: screening tests, which look for warning signs that a person may have
scoliosis, and diagnostic tests, which confirm scoliosis and assess the severity of the curve in
the spine. A person with a positive screening test may require diagnostic tests.
 Previously, scoliosis screenings were part of routine child health visits. Now, concerns about
overdiagnosis and overtreatment mean that many organizations do not recommend this
approach.
 Those in favor of screening recommend that it take place twice in females aged 10–12 years
and once in males aged 13–14 years.

7
What do doctors look for during the exam?
In scoliosis exams, a doctor will look for external signs that can indicate scoliosis. These signs include:
● one shoulder blade being higher or more prominent than the other
● one shoulder being visibly higher than the other, from either the front or the back
● more space between the body and the arm on one side when standing with the arms hanging
loosely
● skin creases on one side of the waist
● one hip that is higher than the other
● a head that does not appear centered within the pelvis
Tests during a scoliosis exam
The main screening test for scoliosis is the Adam’s test, which doctors may also call a forward bend
test.
During this test, a person removes their shirt so that the spine is fully visible. Then, they bend forward
with their knees straight and their feet together, allowing the arms to hang freely. This position can allow
doctors to see:
● a visible curve in the spine
● asymmetries in the shoulders, shoulder blades, or waistline
● a hump or elevation of the rib cage on one side
If there are signs of scoliosis, a doctor may place a scoliometer on the curved area. This device
measures the angle of the curve.
Neither the Adam’s test nor a scoliometer can provide an entirely accurate picture of what the spine looks
like and the significance of the curve. If the physical exam indicates scoliosis, a doctor will refer the
person for medical imaging to confirm a diagnosis. (Medical News Today., n.d.).

D. Skin Hair and Nails:

The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, and nails. The skin is an organ that performs a
variety of essential functions, such as protecting the body from invasion by microorganisms,
chemicals, and other environmental factors; preventing dehydration; acting as a sensory organ;
modulating body temperature and electrolyte balance; and synthesizing vitamin D.
Skin
The skin is made of multiple layers of cells and tissues, which are held
to underlying structures by connective tissue. The skin is composed of
two main layers: the uppermost thin layer called the epidermis made of
closely packed epithelial cells, and the inner thick layer called the
dermis that houses blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and nerve
fibers. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis that contains connective
tissue and adipose tissue (stored fat) to connect the skin to the
underlying bones and muscles. The skin acts as a sense organ
because the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis contain specialized
Layers of the Skin
sensory nerve structures that detect touch, surface temperature, and
pain.

8
The color of skin is created by pigments, including melanin, carotene, and
hemoglobin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes that are
scattered throughout the epidermis. When there is an irregular
accumulation of melanocytes in the skin, freckles appear. Dark-skinned
individuals produce more melanin than those with pale skin. Exposure to the
UV rays of the sun or a tanning bed causes additional melanin to be
manufactured and built up, resulting in the darkening of the skin referred
to as a tan. Increased melanin accumulation protects the DNA of epidermal
cells from UV ray damage, but it requires about ten days after initial sun Pigmentation of the Skin
exposure for melanin synthesis to peak. This is why pale-skinned
individuals often suffer sunburns during initial exposure to the sun. Darker-skinned individuals can also
get sunburns, but they are more protected from their existing melanin than pale-skinned individuals.

Too much sun exposure can eventually lead to wrinkling due to the
destruction of the cellular structure of the skin, and in severe cases, can
cause DNA damage resulting in skin cancer. Moles are larger masses
of melanocytes, and although most are benign, they should be
monitored for changes that indicate the presence of skin cancer.
Moles
Patients are encouraged to use the ABCDE mnemonic to watch
for signs of early-stage melanoma developing in moles. Consult a health care provider if you find these
signs of melanoma when assessing a patient’s skin:
● Asymmetrical: The sides of the moles are not symmetrical
● Borders: The edges of the mole are irregular in shape
● Color: The color of the mole has various shades of brown or black
● Diameter: The mole is larger than 6 mm. (0.24 in.)
● Evolving: The shape of the mole has changed
Hair
Hair is made of dead, keratinized cells that originate in the hair
follicle in the dermis. For these reasons, there is no sensation in hair.
Hair serves a variety of functions, including protection, sensory input,
thermoregulation, and communication. For example, hair on the head
protects the skull from the sun. Hair in the nose, ears, and around the
eyes (eyelashes) defends the body by trapping any dust particles that
may contain allergens and microbes. Hair of the eyebrows prevents
sweat and other particles from dripping into the eyes.
Hair also has a sensory function due to sensory innervation by Hair Follicle
a hair root plexus surrounding the base of each hair follicle. Hair is
extremely sensitive to air movement or other disturbances in the environment, even more so than the
skin surface. This feature is also useful for the detection of the presence of insects or other potentially
damaging substances on the skin surface. Each hair root is also connected to a smooth muscle called
the arrector pili that contracts in response to nerve signals from the sympathetic nervous system,
making the external hair shaft “stand up.” This movement is commonly referred to as goose bumps.
The primary purpose for this movement is to trap a layer of air to add insulation.

9
Nails
The nail bed is a specialized structure of the epidermis that is found at
the tips of our fingers and toes. The nail body is formed on the nail
bed and protects the tips of our fingers and toes as they experience
mechanical stress while being used. In addition, the nail body forms a
back-support for picking up small objects with the fingers. Nails
Sweat Glands
When the body becomes warm, sweat glands produce sweat to cool the body.
There are two types of sweat glands that secrete slightly different products.
An eccrine sweat gland produces hypotonic sweat for thermoregulation. These
glands are found all over the skin’s surface but are especially abundant on the
palms of the hand, the soles of the feet, and the forehead. They are coiled glands
lying deep in the dermis, with the duct rising up to a pore on the skin surface
where the sweat is released. This type of sweat is composed mostly of

water and some salt, antibodies, traces of metabolic waste, and

dermicidin, an antimicrobial peptide. Eccrine glands are a primary Eccrine Sweat Gland
component of thermoregulation and help to maintain homeostasis.
Apocrine sweat glands are mostly found in hair follicles in densely hairy
areas, such as the armpits and genital regions. In addition to secreting Common Types of Skin
water and salt, apocrine sweat includes organic compounds that make
the sweat thicker and subject to bacterial decomposition and subsequent
odor. The release of this sweat is controlled by the nervous system and
hormones and plays a role in the human pheromone response. Most
commercial antiperspirants use an aluminum-based compound as their
primary active ingredient to stop sweat. When the antiperspirant enters
the sweat gland duct, the aluminum-based compounds form a physical
block in the duct, which prevents sweat from coming out of the pore.
Skin Lesions

A lesion is an area of abnormal tissue. There are many terms for common skin lesions that may be
described in a patient’s chart. (Nursing, O. R. F., Ernstmeyer, K., & Christman, E., 2021).

Day 5
F. Dental Examination
Dental exams are important for protecting your oral health. Oral health includes your teeth,
gums, and all the muscles and bones that let you smile, speak, and chew. Common oral health
problems, such as include tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease (periodontal disease), can lead to
pain, infection, and tooth loss.
Poor oral health can affect your general health, too. For example, loosing teeth can cause
problems with eating and nutrition, which can lead to other health problems. You can help prevent
oral health problems with regular visits to the dentist and good toothbrushing and flossing habits at
home.

10
 At a dental checkup, you'll usually see both a dentist and a dental hygienist. A dentist is a
doctor who has special training to care for teeth and gums. A dental hygienist is a health care professional
trained to clean teeth and teach you how to take good care of your teeth and gums.
Dentists can treat people of all ages. There are also pediatric dentists who have received additional
training on dental care for children.
Getting regular dental examinations is a large component of preventative dentistry. A dental exam
serves as an opportunity for a dentist to clean your teeth and look for dental problems like gum disease
and tooth decay. This is also a time to examine the face, mouth and neck for abnormalities like oral
cancer.
During a dental examination, you can learn important factors that affect overall health like
good oral hygiene and eating the right foods.
Important components of your dental examination
Each visit to your dentist will be different, but most dental examinations contain these five key
parts.
1. Teeth cleaning
As was mentioned earlier, one of the treatments dentists perform during a routine examination
is professional cleaning. This is done to remove tartar and plaque from the teeth. Tartar
is calcified plaque that forms when plaque sits on teeth surfaces for prolonged periods. While plaque
can be removed with brushing and flossing, tartar cannot. Over time, it will eventually give your teeth
a yellow tint, and it also serves as a base for acid-producing bacteria.
During the cleaning, the dentist will use a metal tool to remove tartar from teeth surfaces. The
dentist will floss the teeth and polish them after the cleaning. Regular teeth cleanings go a long way
when it comes to keeping teeth looking their best and free of decay.
2. Visual inspection
A visual inspection is another important part of a dental examination. During the procedure,
the dentist will carefully examine the teeth, looking for signs of any dental issues. It is often much
easier to treat dental issues during their early stages so the importance of early detection cannot be
overstated. The dentist's findings often determine what other treatments you may need during the
visit.
3. Oral cancer screen
Oral cancer is a deadly disease that you can treat when detected during the early stages. Your
dentist will likely be the first medical professional to see the sings of this cancer. The dentist will examine
the neck, mouth and face to look for any irregularities.
4. Fluoride treatment
The dentist will assess your fluoride needs during the examination. If your teeth are susceptible to
tooth decay, you may receive a fluoride treatment. Fluoride protects teeth from decay for up to six months.
The dentist may also recommend other preventative treatments like a fluoride varnish or a dental sealant.
5. Bite inspection
The dentist will also look at your jaw and how your teeth align. X-rays may be done to get a
better view of what is going on underneath the gums, or the dentist might make an impression of the
teeth. The dentist will recommend appropriate solutions for any bite issues that are detected.

Understanding Health Risks

Improve Your Chances for Good Health
 Risks are all around us. A nearby sneeze may raise your risk for catching the flu. Obesity
boosts the odds you’ll get diabetes. Smoking increases your risk for many cancers. And if you
pay attention to news headlines, you may worry that you’re at risk for food poisoning, Zika
infection, shark attacks, and more.
 Health risks can sometimes be confusing, but they’re important to understand. Knowing the risks,
you and your family may face can help you find ways to avoid health problems. It can also
keep you from fretting over unlikely threats. Knowing the risks and benefits of a medical
treatment can help you and your doctor make informed decisions.
Illness - tips to help you recover
 Medical conditions, illness or injury are frequently stressful and may disrupt our lives. A
healthy diet, regular exercise, sleep and social support can relieve or manage the symptoms
of illness or injury and help improve recovery.
 Taking a positive view can also make a huge difference to recovery from illness.
Worrying or negative thinking
Worrying or thinking negatively about possible situations can be harmful. It adds to your levels
of anxiety or stress and can adversely affect your health. Some strategies to reduce worrying include:

12
 ● When you start to worry, write down your concerns and the possible consequences, both
negative and positive. Look at each scenario and think about possible good points. Remind
yourself that you can and will be able to cope.
● Seek out information about your prognosis and likely outcomes.
● Realistically assess your worries and think about other things. Talk to a friend or to a
psychologist.
● Find a variety of activities to focus on each day – for example, reading, walking or watching a
movie. Even if you can only manage short periods at a time because you find activity difficult,
make sure your day is varied and challenging.
Stress and tension
Stress and tension can affect you physically in many ways, including increased muscle tension and
chronic contraction. This may be experienced as tension in the eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders, lower back
and stomach. Prolonged muscle tension can lead to aches and pains, such as headaches, migraine,
backache, muscular spasm and injury.
To help reduce stress and physical tension:
● Learn to recognise the signs of tension in your body. Stop regularly and think about how muscles
in your body feel. Identify those muscles that seem most tense when you feel stressed.
● Regularly practise slow and deep breathing, particularly when you feel tense or stressed. Deep
breathing using abdominal muscles is preferable to shallow breathing relying on chest
muscles.
● Learn to take time out to relax – for example, think of pleasant images and listen to music to
calm you.
● Learn a deep muscle relaxation technique, such as progressive muscle relaxation – that is, a
method of systematically contracting and relaxing your muscles. See a psychologist for
training.
Diet, exercise and sleep
A healthy diet, regular exercise and adequate sleep can help you to cope with a medical condition,
illness or injury. Sometimes, medication and treatment for a condition, or the pain caused by it, can
have an impact on your appetite, energy levels and sleeping patterns. Talk with your doctor about
ways of managing these unwanted effects of medication.
Improve your diet
To maintain a healthy diet:
● Eat regularly throughout the day rather than one or two heavy meals.
● Choose nutritious foods that you enjoy eating.
● If you don’t feel like eating, try having small amounts often.
● Avoid inappropriate foods – don’t have them in the house.
● Tell your family and friends about your diet needs so they can support you.
Keep active
Regular exercise promotes health and wellbeing and helps prevent injury. Do some physical activity
every day, even if it is only a small amount. See your specialist for advice on exercise that will suit your
condition.

13
 Get enough sleep
Sleep is very important if you have a medical condition. To help you get enough good sleep:
● Try not to nap during the day.
● Lie in bed only if you plan to sleep, not for other activities like watching TV.
● Don’t have stimulants, such as tea or coffee, at night.
● Exercise during the day so your body is ready for sleep at night.
Get the support you need
Social support can help you maintain your quality of life when you are ill. To help you find and
maintain support:
● Plan to catch up with family and friends. Keep a regular schedule of contact throughout each
week.
● Tell your family and friends about your condition and let them know how they can help you.
● Consider new sources of support, such as support groups, clubs, interest groups and
volunteer opportunities.
