Ch 1- Concepts of Health and Disease

1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions
k k k k k k k k k




focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following
k k k k k k k k k k k k




commentsmade by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
k k k k k k k k k k k




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




A) Interests in keeping the elderlypopulation engaged in such activities as k k k k k k k k k k




bookreviews and word games during social time
k k k k k k k




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




carefacilities k




C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with k k k k k k k k




diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home
k k k k k k k k k k




cookingclasses k




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




hemodialysissessions
k




E) Providing handwashingteachingsessions to a groupof young k k k k k k k k




childrenANSWER: A, B, C, E
k k k k k




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




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




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




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




well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vitalin the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k




prevention of disease and spread of germs.

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




variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




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




andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed,
k k k k k k k k k k k




which would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




report?
k




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




descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of
k k k k k k k k k k




stress. k




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




hypercholesterolemia and remainsnoncompliantwith thetreatment
k k k k k k k




regime. k




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




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




manyhealth care facilities.
k k k




ANSWER: B k




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




alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
k k k k k k k k k k k




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




promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access
k k k k k k k k k k k k k




tohealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol
k k k k k k k k k k k




levelswithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the
