1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focusedon
the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following commentsmade
by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be considered a good
representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book
reviews and word games during social time
B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care
facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with diabetes
mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cookingclasses
D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis
sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
ANSWER: A, B, C, E
IntroductionExams serve as a fundamental tool in evaluating a student's understanding of a subject, particularly in fields as diverse as business,
law, and mathematics. These disciplines not only have distinct theoretical concepts, such as the proof of a mathematical theorem
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book
reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-
being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-being
even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vitalin the prevention of
disease and spread of germs.
2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which
would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime.
C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
health care facilities.
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using alternative
therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for
all (which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good health (which
