ANS: C
,Wellness enhances a persons 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 health 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
om
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.

3. For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat, emotional
te
health can be affected by _____, which can cause confusion or anxiety.
ng
a. low blood sugar levels
b.high blood sugar levels
si
c. high blood pressure
ur
d.extremely low blood pressure
yn
ANS: D
.m
Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to
decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late
w
night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less
w
direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain
w
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.

ANS: B

Healthy People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all
individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake
.c
of fruits and vegetables by African American children is likely to have an adverse effect on their
ep
health and so may be addressed when target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, use of
bottled water, and use of protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse
pr
effect on nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.

Food labeling information is an example of community support because it is a regulatory

measure that supports new health-promoting behaviors within a social context. Teaching,
watching television and awareness may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social

a. exercising five times a week.
b.local supermarkets expanding the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables.
c. teaching a teenager how to choose healthier foods at fast-food restaurants.
d.information about the relationship of dietary intake and diet-related disorders.
ANS: C
Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed improve the health of individuals,
om
families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a teenager how to choose healthier fast
foods. Exercising regularly contributes to wellness, but it is not bringing about a change in health
.c
unless this is a change in behavior. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not
ep
promote health, unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage consumption.
Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease is simply information unless it
pr
is used to promote behavior change.
