Ebersole and Hess' Gerontological Nursing Healthy Aging, Canadian Edition 10th Edition
by Theris a Touhy

Chapter 01: Introduction to Healthy Aging




MULTIPLE CHOICE




1. A man is terminally ill with end-stage prostate cancer. Which is the best
statement about this man‘s wellness?

a. Wellness can only be achieved with aggressive medical

interventions.

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

is terminally ill.

c. Wellness is defined as the absence of

disease.

d. Nursing interventions can help empower a client to

achieve a higher level of wellness.

RIGHT CHOICE: D

Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse
can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is
multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based 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 movement toward
wellness is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a supportive
environment.

2. In differentiating between health and wellness in health care, which of the
following statements is true?



a. Health is a broad term encompassing

attitudes and behaviors.

b. The concept of illness prevention was never considered

by previous generations.

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

d. Wellness is impossible when one‘s health is compromised.

RIGHT CHOICE: A

Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes
wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never
considered by previous generations; through- out history, basic self-care requirements have
been recognized. Wellness and self- actualization develop through learning and growth—as
basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich- ness
to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is compromised—even with chronic illness, with
multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

3. Which racial or ethnic group has the highest life expectancy in the United States?
