Chapter 01: Wellness Nutrition

Grodner et al.: Nutritional Foundations and Clinical Applications: A NursingApproach, 8th Edition




MULTIPLE CHOICE



1. Examples of informal education include

a. attending a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart

Association.

b. watching a television show about diabetes.

c. learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics course.

d. joining a support group to help overcome an eating disorder.


ANS: B

Watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is

an experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support

group would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered

formal education.

b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats

c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week

d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices


ANS: C

Wellness enhances a person’s level of health through development of each of the six

dimensions of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health,

spiritual health, and environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods help

develop physical health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health;

buying locally produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based

organization helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional

health. The missing dimension in this example is development of social health; eating meals

with friends throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her own food would be

another example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor

to physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical,

intellectual, and emotional health.

a. low blood sugar levels

b. high blood sugar levels

c. high blood pressure

d. extremely low blood pressure


ANS: A

Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to

decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make difficult to control emotions. Late

night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a

less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to

maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on

emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of

caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.

c. widespread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic groups.
