1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focused on the World Health
Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments made by nurses during a discussion session,
which statements would be considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.

, B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with diabetes mellitus under tight
blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking classes
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
Accurate Answer: 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 the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which would
be 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.
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many health care facilities.
Accurate Answer: B
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using alternative therapies to minimize
effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for all (which includes having good health care
benefits); and promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access to health care).
A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of
CV disease does not meet the ―attaining lives free of preventable disease and premature death‖ determinant.
3. A physician is providing care for a number of patients on a medical unit of a large, university hospital. The
physician is discussing with a colleague the differentiation between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules
and diseases that cause disease. Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of
molecules that cause disease?
A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion of packed red blood cells
Ar
B) A 91-year-old woman who has experienced an ischemic stroke resulting from familial
ch
hypercholesterolemia
