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 vital in the prevention of disease
and spread of germs.
Ch. 1 #2 A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates

hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime. C)
The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.

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 includes living in a clean community with good
access to health care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high
cholesterol levels within the presence of a family history of CV disease does not
meet the "attaining lives free of preventable disease and premature death"
determinant.

of a large, university hospital. The physician is discussing with a colleague the
