Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
movement toward wellness is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
well-being in a supportive environment.

Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
includes wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
was never considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-care
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6

P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn,
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
with ever-deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is

P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
ANS: P 6 B
Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal health
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures or
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
naturalistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries.
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6

d. The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter.
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6

The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
prevent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphors may
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
be difficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topics from
P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6 P6
