Chapter 01: Professional Nursing Practice


1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new
mothers. How should the nurse best define health?


A) Health is being disease free.


B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.


C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.


D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.


Ans: D


Feedback:


The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its
constitution as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect
because they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.


2. A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to
be a nurse. What is one characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to
be an effective nurse?


A) Sensitivity to cultural differences


B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving

, [Type here] [Type here] [Type here]




C) Strict adherence to routine


D) Ability to face criticism


Ans: A


Feedback:

To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care,
nursing care must be culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural
differences. Team-focused nursing and strict adherence ‘to ‘routine ‘are ‘not
‘characteristics ‘needed ‘to ‘be ‘an ‘effective ‘nurse. ‘The ‘ability ‘to ‘handle ‘criticism ‘is
‘important, ‘but ‘to ‘a ‘lesser ‘degree ‘than ‘cultural ‘competence.



3. With ‘increases ‘in ‘longevity, ‘people ‘have ‘had ‘to ‘become ‘more ‘knowledgeable
‘about ‘their ‘health ‘and ‘the ‘professional ‘health ‘care ‘that ‘they ‘receive. ‘One
‘outcome ‘of ‘this ‘phenomenon ‘is ‘the ‘development ‘of ‘organized ‘self-care
‘education ‘programs. ‘Which ‘of ‘the ‘following ‘do ‘these ‘programs ‘prioritize?




A) Adequate ‘prenatal ‘care


B) Government ‘advocacy ‘and ‘lobbying


C) Judicious ‘use ‘of ‘online ‘communities


D) Management ‘of ‘illness


Ans: D
