1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


following commentsmade by Nursing attendants during a discussion session,
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


which statements would be considered a good representation of the WHO
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


definition? Select all that apply.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7

bookreviews and word games during social time
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


carefacilitiesn7 n7

Reasoning:->>>
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental,
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


andsocial well-being and not merely the absence of illness and infirmity.‖
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


helps with facilitating physical well-being even though the person has a chronic
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


illness. Handwashing is vitalin the prevention of illness and spread of germs.

2. A community health Nursing attendant is teaching a group of recent graduates
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


about the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


thereof. The Nursing attendant is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


fromthe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a teaching
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


example. Of the following aspects discussed, which would be considered a
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


A) The hospital patient has a diverse background by being of Asian and
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


Native American descent and practices various alternative therapies to
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


minimize effects of stress.
n7 n7 n7 n7


B) The hospital patient has a family history of cardiovascular illness
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


related to hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


treatment regime.
n7 n7


C) The hospital patient has a good career with exceptional preventative primary health
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


care benefits. n7 n7

n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


with access tomany primary health care facilities.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


PRECISE CHOICE:- B n7 n7


Reasoning:->>>
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


promoting health for all (which includes having good primary health care
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


benefits); andpromoting good health (which includes living in a clean community
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


with good access tohealth care). A hospital patient's noncompliance with
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


treatments to control high cholesterol levels within the presence of a family
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


history of CV illness does not meet the ―attaininglives free of preventable illness
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 7

n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


n7illnesss that cause illness.Which of the following hospital patients most clearly
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7

n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n 7


Reasoning:->>>Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


illness, such as theincreasing ammonia levels that accompany liver illness. Bacteria,
n7 n7 n7 n7 n
7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


n7poisons, and traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7

n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


made iteasy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.‖
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


D) ―If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
