1. While Attending An International Nursing Conference, Many Discussions And
Break-Out Sessions Focused On The World Health Organization's (WHO) Views
On Health. Of The Following Comments Made By Nurses During A Discussion
Session, Which Statements Would Be Considered A Good Representation Of

Children Answer: A, B, C, E
Rationale: WHO Definition Of Health Is Defined As "A State Of Complete Physical,
Mental, And Social Well-Being And Not Merely The Absence Of Disease And
Infirmity." Engaging In Book Reviews Facilitates Mental And Social Well-Being;
Chair Aerobics Helps Facilitate Physical Well-Being; And Assisting With Tight
Control Of Diabetes Helps With Facilitating Physical Well-Being (Even Though The
Person Has A Chronic Disease). Handwashing Is Vital In The Prevention Of Disease
And Spread Of Germs.
