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


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


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


that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or functio
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


nal level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward wellnes
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


s is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


being in a supportive environment.

statements is true?

ANS: A nf


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


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


nsidered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


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


actualization develop through learning and growth— nf nf nf nf nf


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


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


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

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


a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds by nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf n


biomedical principles.

methods before turning to biomedical professionals.
f nf nf nf nf nf


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


d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite qualities
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


nf is characteristic of a magicoreligious belief system.
nf nf nf nf nf nf




ANS: B nf


Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf n


worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal healt
f nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


h care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures or
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a naturali
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


stic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This belief i
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


s characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach.

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

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

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

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

o converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may preve

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


c. Ask about his perceptions and treatment ideas.

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




ANS: C nf


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


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


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


out cultural beliefs concerning health care and avoids stereotyping the patient. In the assessme
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


nt, the nurse determines what the patient believes about caregiving, decision making, treatmen
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


t, and other pertinent health-
nf nf nf nf


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


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


ntially unsuitable and insulting for this patient. Unless he accepts the treatments, consulting

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

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

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

ANS: B nf


When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal co
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


mmunication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assessment a
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


bout the older adult‘s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her tension, the n
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


urse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse proceeds a
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


nd the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, then important instructions can be
nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf nf


missed, leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions can aggravat
