Section 1: Health & Wellness Fundamentals
20 Questions - Definitions, models, dimensions of wellness, levels of prevention, risk factors, resilience, health status
indicators, health equity foundations, cultural humility, patient-centered care.
Q1: A nursing instructor asks first-semester NR 222 students to identify the World Health Organization
(WHO) definition of health. Which student response most accurately reflects the WHO conceptualization?
A. Health is the absence of disease or infirmity across the lifespan.
B. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity. *[CORRECT]*
C. Health is the ability to perform activities of daily living without assistance.
D. Health is a physiological state in which all body systems function within normal limits.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The WHO (1948) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the
absence of disease. This holistic definition anchors NR 222's exploration of wellness and is reinforced by AACN Essentials
emphasizing holistic, person-centered care. Options A, C, and D reflect narrower biomedical or functional definitions that fail
to capture the multidimensional nature of health central to the course.

Q2: A 42-year-old patient tells the nurse, "I have diabetes but I feel healthy and fulfilled." According to the
health-illness continuum model developed by Travis and Ryan, this statement best illustrates which concept?
A. The patient is in denial about the chronic disease process.
B. Health and illness are mutually exclusive endpoints on a single axis.
C. A person with a chronic illness can still move toward the high-level wellness end of the continuum.
*[CORRECT]*
D. Chronic illness automatically places the patient on the illness pole of the continuum.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The health-illness continuum is a dynamic model that positions wellness and illness as opposing directions on a
single axis, allowing movement in either direction regardless of disease status. A patient with diabetes can adopt
self-management behaviors that move them toward high-level wellness. The other options reflect a static biomedical
perspective inconsistent with Travis and Ryan's model taught in NR 222.
Q3: A community health nurse is comparing the biomedical model of health with the holistic model. Which
statement most accurately contrasts the two frameworks?
A. The biomedical model treats the whole person, whereas the holistic model focuses on pathology.
B. The biomedical model emphasizes diagnosis and treatment of disease, whereas the holistic model integrates
physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. *[CORRECT]*
C. Both models prioritize pharmacological intervention as the primary therapeutic modality.
D. The holistic model originated earlier than the biomedical model and focuses on cellular pathology.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The biomedical model reduces health to physiological pathology and curative treatment, while the holistic model
integrates multiple wellness dimensions (physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, occupational, environmental).
AACN Essentials and the NR 222 curriculum emphasize holistic, patient-centered care. The other options either reverse the
definitions or inaccurately conflate the two paradigms.
Q4: During a wellness assessment, the nurse identifies that a 35-year-old client engages in strength training,
eats a Mediterranean diet, and walks 10,000 steps daily. Which dimension of wellness is the nurse primarily
assessing?
A. Emotional wellness
B. Intellectual wellness
C. Physical wellness *[CORRECT]*
D. Spiritual wellness
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Physical wellness encompasses behaviors and physiologic indicators such as physical activity, nutrition, fitness,
sleep, and avoidance of risky substances. The activities described (strength training, balanced diet, daily walking) are core
physical wellness behaviors. The other dimensions, while important, do not primarily involve exercise and nutritional
behaviors emphasized in NR 222.

Q5: A 28-year-old graduate student reports feeling overwhelmed by coursework, experiencing insomnia, and
using alcohol nightly to cope. Which nursing intervention best supports the emotional dimension of wellness?
A. Refer the student to a registered dietitian for nutritional counseling.
B. Recommend an exercise prescription focused on resistance training.
C. Facilitate referral to a mental health counselor and teach stress-management techniques such as
mindfulness and sleep hygiene. *[CORRECT]*
D. Encourage enrollment in an advanced statistics course to build intellectual wellness.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emotional wellness involves awareness, acceptance, and healthy expression of feelings, coping, and stress
management. Insomnia and alcohol misuse signal compromised emotional wellness, requiring counseling and
stress-management strategies. The other options target physical or intellectual wellness dimensions rather than the emotional
distress the student is experiencing.
Q6: Which scenario best exemplifies intellectual wellness as defined in the NR 222 wellness framework?
A. A 60-year-old attends a community lecture on cancer prevention and reads peer-reviewed health articles.
*[CORRECT]*
B. A 50-year-old performs 30 minutes of aerobic exercise five days per week.
C. A 45-year-old volunteers weekly at a local homeless shelter.
D. A 33-year-old attends religious services every weekend.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Intellectual wellness involves lifelong learning, critical thinking, curiosity, and engagement with new ideas and
health information. Attending educational lectures and reading evidence-based literature are hallmark intellectual wellness
behaviors. The other options reflect physical, social, and spiritual wellness dimensions, respectively.
Q7: An occupational health nurse evaluates a 45-year-old construction worker who reports job dissatisfaction,
chronic back pain, and fear of job loss. Which nursing action most directly addresses occupational wellness?
A. Initiate ergonomic assessment of worksite tasks and refer the employee to vocational counseling.
*[CORRECT]*
B. Prescribe a low-sodium diet to reduce cardiovascular risk.
C. Schedule a screening mammogram for early cancer detection.
D. Refer the worker to a faith community nurse for spiritual support.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Occupational wellness involves deriving satisfaction, enrichment, and meaning from work while maintaining
safety and work-life balance. An ergonomic assessment and vocational counseling directly address workplace factors
affecting the worker. The other options address nutrition, secondary prevention screening, and spiritual wellness dimensions,
not occupational wellness.

Q8: A hospice patient states, "I am at peace with my diagnosis because my faith teaches that suffering has
meaning." The nurse recognizes this statement as most indicative of which dimension of wellness?
A. Emotional wellness
B. Social wellness
C. Spiritual wellness *[CORRECT]*
D. Intellectual wellness
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Spiritual wellness involves finding meaning, purpose, and connection, often through religious beliefs, values, or
practices. The patient's statement about faith and meaning-making is a clear marker of spiritual wellness, a dimension
emphasized in end-of-life and holistic nursing care within the NR 222 curriculum.
Q9: A nurse is planning a community health fair in an underserved neighborhood with limited grocery stores
and safe walking areas. Which dimension of wellness is most directly affected by these environmental
conditions?
A. Environmental wellness *[CORRECT]*
B. Intellectual wellness
C. Spiritual wellness
D. Occupational wellness
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Environmental wellness addresses the relationship between individuals and their surroundings, including access
to healthy food, clean air, safe spaces for physical activity, and healthy built environments. Food deserts and unsafe
neighborhoods directly compromise environmental wellness. The other dimensions are less directly affected by these external
environmental conditions.
Q10: A nurse educator is teaching the difference between health promotion and disease prevention. Which
statement by an NR 222 student indicates correct understanding?
A. "Health promotion and disease prevention are essentially the same concept."
B. "Health promotion focuses on enabling people to increase control over and improve their health, whereas
disease prevention focuses on protecting against specific disease threats." *[CORRECT]*
C. "Disease promotion refers to activities that increase wellness, while health prevention reduces disease."
D. "Health promotion occurs only in clinical settings, while disease prevention occurs only in communities."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Ottawa Charter defines health promotion as enabling people to increase control over and improve their
health, whereas disease prevention focuses on specific protective measures against disease threats. The NR 222 curriculum
distinguishes these concepts to help students design appropriate interventions. The other options conflate or misrepresent the
two concepts.
