stage prostate cancer. Which is the best statement about this man‘s wellness?
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


a. Wellness can only be achieved with aggressive medical interventions.
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


b. Wellness is not a real option for this client because he is terminally ill.

Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a n
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


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

wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk w


on the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her

situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a m
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk

wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


well-being in a supportive environment. wk wk wk wk

2. In differentiating between health and wellness in health care, which of the follo
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


wing statements is true?
wk wk wk


a. Health is a broad term encompassing attitudes and behaviors.
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk

c. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and growth.

wk wk wk wk wk wk wk




ANS: A wk


Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health inclu
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


des wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was n
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


ever considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


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


actualization develop through learning and growth— wk wk wk wk wk


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


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


even with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a high
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk

MULTIPLE CHOICE wk




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


a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk w


k by biomedical principles.
wk wk


b. In most cultures, older adults are likely to treat themselves using traditi
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


onal methods before turning to biomedical professionals.
wk wk wk wk wk wk


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


d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite quali
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


ties is characteristic of a magicoreligious belief system.
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk




ANS: B wk


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


have worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the for
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


mal health care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pra
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


y for cures or wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


system is a naturalistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


countries. This belief is characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach.

2. Which of the following consideUratiS

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


an interpreter?
wk wk


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


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


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


best interpreter because she is familiar with and loves the patient.
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


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




ANS: D wk


The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the inten
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


t is to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


may prevent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphor
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


s may be difficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topic
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


s from being spoken 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
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


and refuses to remain in the bed. Which intervention should the nurse use to promote and
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


maintain his health?
wk wk wk


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


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


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

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




ANS: C wk


Using the LEARN model (listen with sympathy to the patient‘s perception of the proble
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


m, explain your perception of the problem, acknowledge the differences and similarities,
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


recommend treatment, and negotiate agreement), the nurse gathers information from the
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


patient about cultural beliefs concerning health care and avoids stereotyping the patient. In
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


the assessment, the nurse determines what the patient believes about caregiving, decision
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


making, treatment, and other pertinent health-
wk wk wk wk wk


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

ment is complete. Unless he accepts the beliefs, principles of the holistic health system c
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


an be potentially unsuitable and insulting for this patient. Unless he accepts the treatment
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


s, consulting with a practitioner of Chinese medicine can also be unsuitable and insulting
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


for this patient.

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


a. Speak in an exaggerated pitch. wk wk wk wk


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


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


d. Speak clearly. wk




ANS: D wk


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


frail, older persons and fewer of those who are healthy and active. Providers should not
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


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

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


and notes that she becomes tense during the instructions about elimination. Which int
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


ervention should the nurse implement? wk wk wk wk


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


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


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


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




ANS: B wk


When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverba
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


l communication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assess
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


ment about the older adult‘s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her ten
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


sion, the nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nu
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


rse proceeds and the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, then important i
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


nstructions can be missed, leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the in
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk


structions can aggravate the older adult‘s discomfort. Instructing the older adult to repeat
wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk wk w


kthe nurse‘s instruction ignores her needs.
