1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focused on
the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following comments made by
nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be considered a good
representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book
reviews and word games during social time
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care
facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with diabetes
mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking classes
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis
sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children Ans:
A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The 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.
2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large variety
of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is referring to the
Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a
teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which would be considered a
determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American descent
and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many health
care facilities.
Ans: B
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using alternative
therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for all
(which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good health (which includes

living in a clean community with good access to health care). A client's noncompliance with
treatments to control high cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of CV
disease does not meet the “attaining lives free of preventable disease and premature death”
determinant.
