Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in
k k k k k k k k k k k k k


book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
k k k k k k k k k k k


physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
k k k k k k k k k k k k


physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is
k k k k k k k k k k k k


vitalin the prevention of disease and spread of germs.

2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
k k k k k k k k k k k k k


variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


Human Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which
k k k k k k k k k k k k


would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
k k k k k k k k k k k k


descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
k k k k k k k k k k k


B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
k k k k k k k k k k


hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
k k k k k k k k


C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
k k k k k k k k k k k


D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
k k k k k k k k k k k k


health care facilities. k k k


Ans: B k


Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


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


promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
k k k k k k k k k k k k


promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


health care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels
k k k k k k k k k k k k


within the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the “attaining lives
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


free of preventable disease and premature death” determinant.
