ANS: D h1




Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 wellness; a nurse can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 defined by the individual and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the belief that every person
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or
h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 movement toward wellnessis possible if emphasis of care is placed on the
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 promotion of well-being in a supportive environment.

ANS: A h1




Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically,
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h 1 health includes wellness, which in- volves one‘s whole being. The concept

h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 self- actualization develop through learning and growth—as basic needs are
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich-
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 ness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is compromised—even
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 with chronic illness, with multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 toward a higher level of wellness is possible.
