A 90-year-old woman is living in an assisted living facility and recently has contracted influenza. The patient refused the influenza vaccine 2 months ago.
 
  The patient has a history of COPD and hypertension. The patient takes an antihypertensive medication and uses an inhaler every day. The woman likes to play rummy every day with the nursing assistants or her daughters
 
  How would the nurse document the incidence of influenza in the assisted living facility for the month of January if three new patients had influenza and ten patients had influenza, including this patient?
 
  What are two examples of tertiary prevention for this patient?
 
  What are examples of pathophysiology that are present with this patient?

Incidence is the number of new cases arising in a given population during a specified time. The correct incidence is three new patients had influenza during the month of January.

Tertiary prevention is directed at clinical interventions that prevent further deterioration or reduce the complications of a disease once it is diagnosed. Two examples for this patient are taking an antihypertensive medication and using an inhaler.

Pathophysiology is defined as the physiology of altered health. This patient has COPD and hypertension, which are examples of altered health.
