D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis

E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children Ans: A, B, C,
E
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book
reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical
well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical
well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the
prevention of disease and spread of germs.
2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large variety
of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is referring to

considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American descent
and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
