maintenance level of daily functioning; and the absence of illness (or the presence of efforts that lead to

d the strength to die. He also stated that health is not a condition of my body; it is the power of my sou

Q2. Which of the following is known to be a healthy strategy for coping with stress? 1) Perfor

ming meaningful work 2) Consuming simple carbohydrates 3) Drinking three glasses of red wi

ne each day 4) Weight training
dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: ANS: 1 Many individuals find that meaningful work is a healthy way to cope wit
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



h stressors. Consuming simple carbohydrates is not a healthy way to cope with stress. Drinking more th

bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease but not necessarily to reduce stress.

taking and adventure. 4) Views themselves as helpless victims.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: ANS: 2 Families who promote independence and teach good negotiation skills ena

ble family members to experience a high level of wellness by thinking for themselves. In contrast, famil
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ies who tend to squelch personal feelings to avoid conflict may not allow a high level of wellness. Fami
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



lies who emphasize caution in new situations are more beneficial than those who encourage risk-

view themselves as helpless victims.

Q4. The client is a 76-year-old man who is experiencing chronic illness. He has a genetic-

h conditions? 1) Privacy 2) Dignity 3) Functional 4) Identity
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: ANS: 2 Hospitalized patients commonly experience the loss of dignity. Wearing a

dhospital gown, having their body exposed, invasive procedures, loss of control over body functions all
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



of these contribute to loss of dignity, and all are very common among hospitalized patients. Healthcare

providers have a duty to protect privacy and confidentiality of patients, even though it is certainly threat

dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: ANS: 4 It is most important for the nurse to ask the patient about his greatest con

cern. His concern can then be incorporated into the plan of care, making sure that his needs are met. As

[Verified Solution]: ANS: 1 Goals should be realistic so that progress is recognized by the patient. Th

not be divided. 3) Health is remission of disease; illness is exacerbation of disease. 4) Health is

not having illness; illness is not having health.
