In an effort to promote health, the home health nurse opens the clients bedroom windows
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to let in fresh air and sunlight, washes her hands often, and teaches the patient and family
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
about the importance of hygiene and cleanliness. This most closely illustrates the ideas of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
which of the following people? || || || ||
1) Jean Watson
|| ||
2) Jurgen Moltmann
|| ||
3) Florence Nightingale

4) Robert Louis Stevenson - ✔✔ANS: 3
|| || || || || ||
Florence Nightingale believed that health was prevention of disease through the use of fresh
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
air, pure water, efficient drainage, cleanliness, and light. Jean Watson believes that health
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
has three elements: a high level of overall physical, mental, and social functioning; a general
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
adaptive-maintenance level of daily functioning; and the absence of illness (or the presence
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
of efforts that lead to its absence). Jurgen Moltmann believes that true health is the strength
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to live, the strength to suffer, and the strength to die. He also stated that health is not a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
condition of my body; it is the power of my soul to cope with the varying condition of that
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
body. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote that health is not a matter of holding good cards; it is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
playing a poor hand well. || || || ||
Which of the following is known to be a healthy strategy for coping with stress?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
1) Performing meaningful work
|| || ||
2) Consuming simple carbohydrates
|| || ||
3) Drinking three glasses of red wine each day
|| || || || || || || ||
4) Weight training - ✔✔ANS: 1
|| || || || ||
Many individuals find that meaningful work is a healthy way to cope with stressors.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Consuming simple carbohydrates is not a healthy way to cope with stress. Drinking more
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
than one glass of red wine each day is considered unhealthy. Weight training has been
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
,2
shown to increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease but
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
not necessarily to reduce stress.

Which family would most likely be helpful in encouraging the client to experience a high
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
level of wellness? A family who:
|| || || || ||
1) Controls feelings in order to avoid conflict.
|| || || || || || ||
2) Teaches negotiation skills and independence.
|| || || || ||
3) Encourages risk-taking and adventure.
|| || || ||
4) Views themselves as helpless victims. - ✔✔ANS: 2
|| || || || || || || ||
Families who promote independence and teach good negotiation skills enable family
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
members to experience a high level of wellness by thinking for themselves. In contrast,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
families who tend to squelch personal feelings to avoid conflict may not allow a high level
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
of wellness. Families who emphasize caution in new situations are more beneficial than
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
those who encourage risk-taking. Families who view themselves as capable and successful
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
are more advantageous than those who view themselves as helpless victims.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
The client is a 76-year-old man who is experiencing chronic illness. He has a genetic-linked
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
anemia. He says he does not eat a balanced diet, as he prefers sweets to meat and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
vegetables. Which of the following dimensions of health can the nurse most likely influence
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
by teaching and counseling him?
|| || || || ||
1) Age-related changes
|| ||
2) Genetic anemia
|| ||
3) Eating habits
|| ||
4) Gender-related issues - ✔✔ANS: 3
|| || || || ||
The nurse is most likely to influence the patients eating habits because those are the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
dimension over which he has the most control and, therefore, has the most potential for
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
changing. Although people consider biological factors when they describe themselves as
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
well or ill, they are not entirely within our control. Biological factors include age and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
developmental stage, genetic makeup, and gender. || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
conditions?
1) Privacy
||
2) Dignity
||
3) Functional
||
4) Identity - ✔✔ANS: 2
|| || || ||
Hospitalized patients commonly experience the loss of dignity. Wearing a hospital gown, || || || || || || || || || || || ||
having their body exposed, invasive procedures, loss of control over body functions all of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
these contribute to loss of dignity, and all are very common among hospitalized patients.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Healthcare providers have a duty to protect privacy and confidentiality of patients, even
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
though it is certainly threatened by some situations during hospitalization. Some patients
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
lose functioning and identity during hospitalization, but they are not common occurrences.

|| || || || || || ||
2) Do you have any environmental, food, or drug allergies?
|| || || || || || || || ||
3) Do you have an advance directive?
|| || || || || ||
4) What is the greatest concern you are dealing with today? - ✔✔ANS: 4
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
It is most important for the nurse to ask the patient about his greatest concern. His concern
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
can then be incorporated into the plan of care, making sure that his needs are met. Asking
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
about medications, allergies, and an advance directive is also important but does not take
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
priority over asking about the patients greatest conc
|| || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || ||
3) Developed without family input, to maintain confidentiality
|| || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

patient and his family.

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
experience on an emotional level and remember long after this hospitalization has ended?
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
1) Administering her medications according to schedule
|| || || || || ||
2) Allowing flexible visitation by her family and friends
|| || || || || || || ||
3) Explaining treatment options in terms she can understand
|| || || || || || || ||
4) Providing a healing presence by listening and being attentive - ✔✔ANS: 4
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
The nurse can contribute meaningfully to the patients hospitalization by providing a
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
healing presence. The nurse can do this by listening to the patient and being attentive.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Administering medications according to schedule, allowing flexible visitation, and || || || || || || || || ||
explaining treatment options are important contributions that the nurse can make, but they
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
will not be most meaningful to the patient. Patients may be impressed, even amazed, by the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
healthcare technology used to diagnose and treat their illness. However, often what they
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
remember, perhaps through the rest of their lives, is the person who connected with them
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
in a personal way.
|| || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || ||
3) Health is remission of disease; illness is exacerbation of disease.
|| || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
The health-illness continuum is best described as a graduated spectrum that cannot be

divided.
