uld the nurse best define health?
v$ v$ v$ v$ v$
A) Health is being disease free. v$ v$ v$ v$
B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$
C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$
D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.

Feedback:
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state

of complete physical, mental, and social well-
v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$
being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect because

Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-

patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be culturally competent, appropri

ate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-

focused nursing and strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective
v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$ v$
nurse. The ability to handle criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
