must be recognized.
c. In order to change unhealthy living and working conditions, areas other than
health must also be involved.
d. Health promotion uses knowledge from disciplines such as social, economic,
political, environmental, medical, and nursing sciences, as well as from first-hand

Correct Answer: c. In order to change unhealthy living and working
conditions, areas other than health must also be involved.

Question:
According to the World Health Organization, what is the best description of
“health”?
a. Simply the absence of disease.
b. Involving the total person and environment.
c. Strictly personal in nature.
d. Status of pathological state.
Correct Answer: b. Involving the total person and environment.
Rationale:
The World Health Organization conceptualizes health as more than simply the
absence of disease. Health involves the individual’s physical, mental, and social
well-being and the person’s ability to adapt to and cope with the environment.
Nurses therefore consider the whole person and the environment when
assessing health.
Conditions of life, rather than pathological states alone, strongly influence health.

4.
Question:
What priority strategy for health promotion in Canada is optional but seen as
important to incorporate in nursing education curricula?
a. Knowledge of disease prevention.
b. Strategies for health promotion.
c. Policy advocacy.
d. Concepts of determinants of health.
Correct Answer: c. Policy advocacy.
Rationale:
Policy advocacy is increasingly incorporated into nursing role statements and
nursing education curricula. Nurses should consider policies that contribute to
health problems, policies that may alleviate those problems, and ways nurses can
advocate for public policies that promote health. Disease prevention, health
promotion, and concepts of health determinants are already integral components
of nursing curricula.
DIF: Understand
