Origin: Chapter 1, 1
1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects
on the focus of the health care provided in today's society. Which
statement best describes the current definition of health?
A) Health is described as 'an absence of disease.'
B) Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
C) Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
D) Technological gains made in health care are shared equally among all children.
Ans: C
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured
by monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century,
however, the focus of health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and
wellness. The World Health Organization (2013) defines health as "a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity." The gains in child health have been huge, but, unfortunately, these gains
are not shared equally among all children.
