Examples of informal education include
a. attending a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart
Association.
b. watching a television show about diabetes.
c. learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics course.
d. joining a support group to help overcome an eating disorder. - answer-ANS: B Watching a
television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is an experience
that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group would be
considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal education.
A college student exercises regularly and generally eats a healthy variety of foods, is taking a
course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active member
of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her emotions.
What else could be important for her to include in her life in order to develop her overall
wellness?
a. Growing some of her own food
b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats
c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices - answer-ANS: C Wellness
enhances a person's level of health through development of each of the six dimensions of
health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health, and
environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods help develop physical
health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally
produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization
helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The
1
, missing dimension in this example is development of social health; eating meals with friends
throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her own food would be another
example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor to
physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual,
and emotional health.
For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat, emotional
health can be affected by _____, which can cause confusion or anxiety.
a. low blood sugar levels
b. high blood sugar levels
c. high blood pressure
d. extremely low blood pressure - answer-ANS: A Poor eating habits affect emotional health.
Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion
or make difficult to control emotions. Late night binges on snack food are likely to result in
excessive energy intake but would have a less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small
meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would
actually have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may
contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.
The best example of the type of concern that is likely to be addressed by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services when target goals for Healthy People 2030 are updated is
a. preference for vegetarian eating patterns among white women.
b. low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children.
c. widespread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic groups.
d. common use of protein and vitamin supplements in athletes. - answer-ANS: B Healthy People
is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all individuals. It addresses
environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake of fruits and
vegetables by African American children is likely to have an adverse effect on their health and
so may be addressed when target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, use of bottled
water, and use of protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse effect on
nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.
