1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. How should the n
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
urse best define health?
# # #
A) Health is being disease free. # # # #
B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
# # # # # # # #
C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
# # # # # #
D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
# # # # # # # #
Ans: D
Feedback:
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state of com
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
plete physical, mental, and social well-
# # # # #
being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect because they ar
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
e not congruent with the WHO definition of health.
# # # # # # # #
2. A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a nurse. What is one
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse?
# # # # # # # # # # # # #
A) Sensitivity to cultural differences # # #
B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving # # #
C) Strict adherence to routine # # #
D) Ability to face criticism # # #
Ans: A
Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-
# # # #
patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be culturally competent, appropriate, an
# # # # # # # # # # # # # #
d sensitive to cultural differences. Team-
# # # # #
focused nursing and strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
#ability to handle criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
# # # # # # # # # # # # #
3. With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their health and the prof
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
essional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is the development of organized self
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
-care education programs. Which of the following do these programs prioritize?
