ng conditions, areas other than health

3. According to the World Health Organization, what is the best description of “health”?
a. Simply the absence of disease.
b. Involving the total person and environment.
c. Strictly personal in nature.
d. Status of pathological state.
ANS: B

, Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition Potter Test Bank

The WHO defines health as “…the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one
hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope with
the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of
living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical
capacities.” Nurses’ attitudes toward health and illness should account for the total person, as
well as the environment in which the person lives. People free of disease are not equally
healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social, and spiritual well-being, as
well as a focus on health at family and community levels. Conditions of life, rather than
pathological states, are what determine health.

DIF: Knowledge REF: 2
OBJ: Discuss ways that definitions of health have been conceptualized.

4. What priority strategy for health promotion in Canada is optional but seen as important to
incorporate in nursing education curricula?
a. Knowledge of disease prevention.
b. Strategies for health promotion.
c. Policy advocacy.
d. Concepts of determinants of health.
ANS: C
Increasingly, policy advocacy is incorporated into nursing role statements and nursing
education curricula. Nurses should think about policies that have contributed to health
problems, policies that would help to alleviate health problems, and how nursing champions
public policies. Disease prevention is an integral part of nursing curricula. Health promotion is
a fundamental part of nursing curricula.

6. The determinant of health with the greatest effect on the health of Canadians is which of the
following?
a. Education.
b. Health services.
c. Social support networks.
d. Income and social status.
ANS: D
Income, income distribution, and social status are the determinants of health that influence
most other determinants. Some investigators suggest that literacy and education are important
influences on health status because they affect many other health determinants.
Approximately 25% of a population’s health status is attributed to the quality of its health care
services. Social support affects health, health behaviours, and health care utilization but is not
the most influential determinant of health.

DIF: Understand REF: 6
OBJ: Discuss key health determinants and their interrelationships and how they influence health.
