1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions
k k k k k k k k k
focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following
k k k k k k k k k k k k
commentsmade by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
k k k k k k k k k k k
considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
k k k k k k k k k k k k
A) Interests in keeping the elderlypopulation engaged in such activities as k k k k k k k k k k
bookreviews and word games during social time
k k k k k k k
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled k k k k k k k k k k k
carefacilities k
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with k k k k k k k k
diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home
k k k k k k k k k k
cookingclasses k
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their k k k k k k k k k
hemodialysissessions
k
E) Providing handwashingteachingsessions to a groupof young k k k k k k k k
childrenANSWER: A, B, C, E
k k k k k
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical
k k k k k k k k k k k
well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical
k k k k k k k k k k k k
well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vitalin the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
prevention of disease and spread of germs.

2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed,
k k k k k k k k k k k
which would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
report?
k
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
k k k k k k k k k k k k
descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of
k k k k k k k k k k
stress. k
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
k k k k k k k k k k
hypercholesterolemia and remainsnoncompliantwith thetreatment
k k k k k k k
regime. k
C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
k k k k k k k k k k k
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to
k k k k k k k k k k k
manyhealth care facilities.
k k k
ANSWER: B k
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
k k k k k k k k k k k
promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
k k k k k k k k k k k k
promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
tohealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol
k k k k k k k k k k k
levelswithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the
