B. Watching a television show about diabetes.
C. Learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics course.
D. Joining a support group to help overcome an eating disorder.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is an
experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group
would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal
education.

taking a course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active
member of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her
emotions. What else could be important for her to include in her life in order to develop her
overall wellness?
A. Growing some of her own food
, B. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats
C. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
D. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Wellness enhances a persons level of health through development of each of the six dimensions
of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health,
and environmental health. Exercise and eating a health variety of foods help develop physical
health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally
produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization
helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The
missing dimension in this example is development of social health; eating meals with friends
throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her own food would be another
example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor to
physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual,
and emotional health.
