ANS: D ps


Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is multidi
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


mensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the belief
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or functi
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


onal level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward welln
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ess is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


being in a supportive environment.

ANS: A ps


Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never c
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


onsidered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


actualization develop through learning and growth— ps ps ps ps ps


as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is compromised—
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


even with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher le
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


vel of wellness is possible.

1. Which of the following is a true statement about differing health belief systems?
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds b ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


y biomedical principles.
ps ps


b. In most cultures, older adults are likely to treat themselves using traditiona
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


l methods before turning to biomedical professionals.
ps ps ps ps ps ps


c. Ayurvedic medicine is another name for traditional Chinese medicine. ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite qualitie
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


s is characteristic of a magicoreligious belief system.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps




ANS: B ps


Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that hav
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


e worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal hea
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


lth care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


or wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a natu
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ralistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This beli
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ef is characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach.

ps ps ps
N R I G B.C M ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


interpreter?
ps


a. An interpreter is never needed if the nurse speaks the same language as the patient.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


b. When working with interpreters, the nurse can use technical terms or metaphors.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


c. A patient‘s young granddaughter who speaks fluent English would make the bes
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


t interpreter because she is familiar with and loves the patient.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


d. The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps




ANS: D ps


The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may pre
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


vent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphors may be di
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


fficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topics from being sp
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


oken of to a grandparent or child.

3. An older adult who is a traditional Chinese man has a blood pressure of 80/54 mm Hg and r
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


efuses to remain in the bed. Which intervention should the nurse use to promote and maintain
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


his health?
ps ps


a. Have the health care provider speak to him. ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


b. Use principles of the holistic health system.
ps ps ps ps ps ps


c. Ask about his perceptions and treatment ideas.
ps ps ps ps ps ps

, d. Consult with a practitioner of Chinese medicine. ps ps ps ps ps ps




ANS: C ps


Using the LEARN model (listen with sympathy to the patient‘s perception of the problem, e
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


xplain your perception of the problem, acknowledge the differences and similarities, recom
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


mend treatment, and negotiate agreement), the nurse gathers information from the patient ab
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


out cultural beliefs concerning health care and avoids stereotyping the patient. In the assessm
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ent, the nurse determines what the patient believes about caregiving, decision making, treatm
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ent, and other pertinent health-
ps ps ps ps


related information. Speaking with the health care provider is premature until the assessment
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


is complete. Unless he accepts the beliefs, principles of the holistic health system can be po
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


tentially unsuitable and insulting for this patient. Unless he accepts the treatments, consultin

4. Which action should the nurse take when addressing older adults?
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


a. Speak in an exaggerated pitch. ps ps ps ps


b. Use a lower quality of speech. ps ps ps ps ps


c. Use endearing terms such as ―honey.‖ ps ps ps ps ps


d. Speak clearly. ps




ANS: D ps


Some health professionals demonstrate ageism, in part because providers tend to see many fra
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


il, older persons and fewer of those who are healthy and active. Providers should not assume
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


that all older adults are hearing or mentally impaired. The most appropriate action

5. The nurse prepares an older woman, who is Polish, for discharge through an interpreter an
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


d notes that she becomes tense during the instructions about elimination. Which intervent
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ion should the nurse implement?
ps ps ps ps


a. Move on to the discussion about medication. ps ps ps ps ps ps


b. Ask the older woman how she feels about this topic.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


c. Instruct the interpreter to repeat the instructions. ps ps ps ps ps ps


d. Have the older woman repeat the instructions for clarity.
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps




ANS: B ps


When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal c
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ommunication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assessment
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


about the older adult‘s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her tension, the
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse proceeds
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


and the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, then important instructions can b
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


e missed, leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions can aggrav
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


ate the older adult‘s discomfort. Instructing the older adult to repeat the nurse‘s instruction i
ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps ps


gnores her needs. ps ps
