Ch 1- Concepts of Health and Disease

commentsmade 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
bookreviews and word games during social time
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled

cookingclasses
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their
hemodialysissessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young
childrenANSWER: 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
vitalin 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

andHuman 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
