action?” the nurse will ask which of the following
questions?
a. “With whom should we act?”
b. “When should we take action?”
c. “Which government should take action?”
d. “Where should we first act?”
ANS: A
The next question to ask when using the population
health model approach is “With whomshould we act?” The other choices are not questions
included in this model.

DIF: Apply REF: 13 (Figure 1-5)
OBJ: Contrast distinguishing features of health promotion and disease prevention.
TOP: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

2. The principle “Health promotion is multisectoral” means which of the following?
a. Relationships between individual, social, and environmental factors must be
recognized.
b. Physical, mental, social, ecological, cultural, and spiritual aspects of health 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
experience.
ANS: C
The statement “Health promotion is multisectoral” is the principle explained by the
necessity to involve areas other than health in order to change unhealthy living and
working conditions.

DIF: Understand REF: 11
OBJ: Contrast distinguishing features of health promotion and disease prevention.
TOP: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

3. 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.
ANS: B

, WHO defines health as “. . .the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one
hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope
with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the
objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as
well as physical capacities.” Nurses’ attitudes toward health and illness should consider
the total person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. People free of
disease are not equally healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social,
and spiritual well-being, as well as a focus on health at family and community levels.
Conditions of life, rather than pathological states, are what determine health.

DIF: Knowledge REF: 2
OBJ: Discuss ways that definitions of health have been conceptualized.
TOP: Evaluate MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

4. 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.
ANS: C
Increasingly, policy advocacy is incorporated into nursing role statements and nursing
education curricula. Nurses should think about policies that have contributed to health
problems, policies that would help alleviate health problems, and how nurses champion
public policies. Disease prevention, health promotion, and concepts of determinants of
health are integral parts of nursing curricula.

DIF: Understand REF: 11| 12
OBJ: Analyze how the nature and scope of nursing practice are influenced by different
conceptualizations of health and health determinants. TOP: Planning
MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

5. Which of the following is a prerequisite for health, as identified by the Ottawa Charter for
Health Promotion?
a. Education.
b. Social support.
c. Self-esteem.
d. Physical environment.
ANS: A
Education is one of the nine prerequisites for health that were identified in the Ottawa
Charter for Health Promotion. Lack of social support and low self-esteem were identified
as psychosocial risk factors by Labonte (1993). Dangerous physical environments were
identified as socioenvironmental risk factors by Labonte (1993).

DIF: Understand REF: 4
OBJ: Discuss contributions of the following Canadian publications to conceptualizations of
health and health determinants: Lalonde Report, Ottawa Charter, Epp Report, Strategies for
Population Health, Jakarta Declaration, Bangkok Charter, Toronto Charter. TOP: Planning
MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

,6. The determinant of health with the greatest effect on the health of Canadians is which of
the following?
a. Education.
b. Health services.
c. Social support networks.
d. Income and social status.
ANS: D
Income, income distribution, and social status constitute the greatest determinant of health
because they influence most other determinants. Some investigators suggest that literacy
and education are important influences on health status because they affect many other
health determinants. Approximately 25% of a population’s health status is attributed to the
quality of its health care services. Social support affects health, health behaviours, and
health care utilization but is not the greatest determinant of health.

DIF: Understand REF: 6
OBJ: Discuss key health determinants and their interrelationships and how they influence health.

7. A paraplegic patient in the hospital for an electrolyte imbalance is receiving care at which
prevention level?
a. Primary prevention level.
b. Secondary prevention level.
c. Tertiary prevention level.
d. Health promotion level.
ANS: B
The secondary prevention level focuses on early detection of disease once pathogenesis
has occurred, so that prompt treatment can be initiated to halt disease and limit disability.
The primary prevention level focuses on health promotion, specific protection measures
such as immunizations, and the reduction of risk factors such as smoking. The tertiary
prevention level focuses on minimizing residual disability.

DIF: Apply REF: 11
OBJ: Contrast distinguishing features of health promotion and disease prevention.
TOP: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

8. The nurse incorporates levels of prevention on the basis of patient needs and the type of
nursing care provided. Which of the following is an example of tertiary level preventive
caregiving?
a. Teaching a patient how to irrigate a new temporary colostomy.
b. Providing a lesson on hygiene for an elementary school class.
c. Informing a patient that immunizations for her infant are available through the
health department.
d. Arranging for a hospice nurse to visit with the family of a patient with cancer.
ANS: D

, Tertiary prevention is provided when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible.
At this level, the hospice nurse aims to help the patient and his or her family to achieve a
high level of function, despite the limitations caused by the patient’s illness. Teaching a
patient how to irrigate a new colostomy is an example of secondary prevention. If the
colostomy is to be permanent, care may later move to the tertiary level of prevention.
Providing a lesson on hygiene for an elementary school class and informing a patient
about available immunizations are examples of primary prevention.

DIF: Apply REF: 11 OBJ: Discuss the three levels of disease prevention.

9. The nurse is working on a committee to evaluate the need for increasing the levels of
fluoride in the drinking water of the community. In doing so, the nurse is fostering which
concept?
a. Anticipatory prevention.
b. Primary prevention.
c. Secondary prevention.
d. Tertiary prevention.
ANS: B
Fluoridation of municipal drinking water and fortification of homogenized milk with
vitamin D are examples of primary prevention strategies. With active strategies of health
promotion, individuals are motivated to adopt specific health programs such as weight
reduction and smoking cessation programs. “Anticipatory prevention” is not a known
concept. Secondary prevention promotes early detection of disease (e.g., screening).
Tertiary prevention activities are initiated in the convalescence phase of disease.

DIF: Apply REF: 11 OBJ: Discuss the three levels of disease prevention.
TOP: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

10. The nurse is working in a clinic that is designed to provide health education and
immunizations. As such, this clinic focuses on which type of prevention?
a. Primary prevention.
b. Secondary prevention.
c. Tertiary prevention.
d. Diagnosis and prompt intervention.

ANS: A
Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction and is applied to people considered
physically and emotionally healthy. Health promotion includes health education programs,
immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities. Secondary prevention
focuses on individuals who are experiencing health problems or illnesses and who are at
risk for developing complications or worsening conditions; activities are directed at
diagnosis and prompt intervention. Tertiary prevention is provided when a defect or
disability is permanent and irreversible. It involves minimizing the effects of long-term
disease or disability through interventions directed at preventing complications and
deterioration.
