,Chapter 01: Health Care Delivery and Evidence-Based Nursing Practice
The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. How shouldthe
nurse best define health?
Health is being disease free.
Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
Ans: D
Feedback:
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.
The other answers are incorrect because they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.
A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a nurse. What isone
characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse?
Sensitivity to cultural differences
Team-focused approach to problem-solving
Strict adherence to routine
Ability to face criticism
Ans: A
Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be
culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-focused nursing and strict
adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The ability to handle
criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their health and the
professional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is the development of
organized self-care education programs. Which of the following do these programs prioritize?
, Adequate prenatal care
Government advocacy and lobbying
Judicious use of online communities
Management of illness
Ans: D
Feedback:
Organized self-care education programs emphasize health promotion, disease prevention, management
of illness, self-care, and judicious use of the professional health care system. Prenatal care, lobbying, and
Internet activities are secondary.
The home health nurse is assisting a patient and his family in planning the patients return to work after
surgery and the development of postsurgical complications. The nurse is preparing a plan of care that
addresses the patients multifaceted needs. To which level of Maslows hierarchy of basic needs does the
patients need for self-fulfillment relate?
Physiologic
Transcendence
Love and belonging
Self-actualization
Ans: D
Feedback:
Maslows highest level of human needs is self-actualization, which includes self-fulfillment, desire to
know and understand, and aesthetic needs. The other answers are incorrect because self-fulfillment does
not relate directly to them.
The view that health and illness are not static states but that they exist on a continuum is central to
professional health care systems. When planning care, this view aids the nurse in appreciating which of
the following?
Care should focus primarily on the treatment of disease.
A persons state of health is ever-changing.
