CHAPTER: INTRODUCTION TO CHILD HEALTH AND PEDIATRIC NURSING
Origin: Chapter 1, 1
1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the focus of
the health care provided in today's society. Which statement best describes the current
definition of health?
A) Health is described as 'an absence of disease.'
B) Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
C) Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
D) Technological gains made in health care are shared equally among all children.
Ans: C
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured by
monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century, however, the
focus of health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and wellness. The
World Health Organization (2013) defines health as "a state of complete physical,
mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The
gains in child health have been huge, but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared
equally among all children.
