Chapter 01: Concepts of Health and Disease
1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions
T T T T T T T T T



focused on the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



comments made by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
T T T T T T T T T T T T



considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
T T T T T T T T T T T




A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as book
T T T T T T T T T T T T



reviews and word games during social time
T T T T T T



B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



facilities
C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with diabetes T T T T T T T T T T



mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking classes
T T T T T T T T T T



D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their hemodialysis
T T T T T T T T T T T



sessions
E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children T T T T T T T T T




Ans: A, B, C, E T T T T




Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical
T T T T T T T T T T T



well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-
T T T T T T T T T T T T



being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



prevention of disease and spread of germs. T T T T T T




2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



Human Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, which
T T T T T T T T T T T T



would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report?
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress.
T T T T T T T T T T



B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
T T T T T T T T T T T



hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime. T T T T T T T



C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
T T T T T T T T T T T




D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to many
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



healthcare facilities. T T




Ans: B T




Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using alternative
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T



therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for
T T T T T T T T T T T T T



all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
