Q1 Question 1 of 75
A 32-year-old female tells the nurse during a wellness visit that she considers herself healthy
because she has no diagnosed medical conditions. Which response best reflects the World Health
Organization's expanded definition of health?
A. Health is defined by the absence of any pathologic process detectable by laboratory testing or
imaging.
B. Health is achieved when an individual reaches the highest level of physiologic function possible for
their age.
C. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity.
D. Health refers only to the body's ability to resist infection and recover from injury without medication.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
The WHO definition explicitly frames health as complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not
just absence of disease. The other options reduce health to physiologic or infectious-disease terms
and ignore the mental and social dimensions emphasized by WHO.
Q2 Question 2 of 75
A 47-year-old male client is learning about the six dimensions of wellness in a community health
class. Which scenario best exemplifies intellectual wellness?
A. He enrolls in an online history course because he enjoys learning new ideas and challenging his
thinking.
B. He attends a weekly yoga class to maintain flexibility and core strength.
C. He volunteers at a local food bank to give back to his community.
D. He tracks his daily caloric intake to maintain a stable body weight.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Intellectual wellness involves curiosity, lifelong learning, and engagement with new ideas, which the
online history course represents. Yoga reflects physical wellness, volunteering reflects social wellness,
and calorie tracking reflects physical or occupational wellness, not intellectual growth.

, Q3 Question 3 of 75
A nurse is teaching a client about the health-illness continuum. The client asks where someone
with a chronic but well-controlled condition would fall. Which explanation is most accurate?
A. The client is fixed at the neutral midpoint because chronic illness cannot shift along the continuum.
B. The client is positioned toward the wellness side of the midpoint because active management
moves them away from illness despite a chronic diagnosis.
C. The client is locked on the illness side because any chronic diagnosis permanently places them
away from wellness.
D. The continuum only applies to acute illnesses, so this client would not be placed on it at all.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The health-illness continuum is dynamic, and a person with a well-managed chronic condition can
move toward the wellness side by adopting healthy behaviors and adhering to treatment. The
continuum is not limited to acute illness, nor is placement fixed at a single point. The neutral midpoint
or illness pole would deny the role of self-management.
Q4 Question 4 of 75
A 55-year-old male with a family history of coronary artery disease expresses disbelief when told
his cholesterol is elevated. He continues his usual diet, stating the results must be wrong.
According to the Health Belief Model, which construct best explains his behavior?
A. Low perceived susceptibility, since he does not believe the elevated cholesterol applies to him.
B. High self-efficacy, since he feels confident in managing his own dietary choices.
C. High perceived severity, since he fears the consequences of heart disease.
D. Strong cues to action, since he has been prompted by his provider to change his diet.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Dismissing test results as wrong indicates the client does not believe he is personally at risk, which is
low perceived susceptibility. High self-efficacy, high perceived severity, and strong cues to action
would all tend to promote behavior change rather than denial, so they do not explain his behavior.

, Q5 Question 5 of 75
A nursing student is preparing a teaching plan on holistic health. Which statement by the student
indicates correct understanding of holistic care?
A. Holistic care addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the whole person
rather than only the disease process.
B. Holistic care focuses exclusively on the use of herbal supplements and complementary therapies to
treat illness.
C. Holistic care replaces conventional medicine with alternative practices whenever a diagnosis is
made.
D. Holistic care is delivered only by advanced practice nurses trained in integrative modalities.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Holistic care considers the whole person across physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions,
integrating with (not replacing) conventional medicine. It is not limited to herbs or alternative therapies,
and any nurse can deliver holistic care, not only advanced practice providers.
Q6 Question 6 of 75
A community health nurse is assessing social determinants of health in a low-income
neighborhood. Which finding should the nurse identify as the strongest predictor of poor health
outcomes in this population?
A. Higher-than-average rates of television viewing among adolescents in the area.
B. A neighborhood recreational center that closes at 6 p.m. on weekdays.
C. A local clinic that requires appointments rather than accepting walk-ins.
D. Limited access to affordable, fresh food within walking distance of most homes.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Food insecurity and limited access to fresh food are well-established social determinants strongly
linked to chronic disease and poor outcomes. The other factors may influence health but are weaker
individual predictors compared with the broader issue of food access.
