ANS: D
Nursing interventions can help
empower a client to achieve a higher
level of wellness; a nurse can foster
wellness at all levels of the needs
hierarchy.
Wellness is possible even if the client
assists in the management of his
medical care; an individual must work
hard to achieve wellness, similar to a
, job. Wellness is unfortunately not a
real option for this client; however, all
persons, regardless of age or life-
health situations, can be helped to
achieve a higher level of wellness.
Wellness is the same thing as faith
healing, and if the client would be
more receptive, then he could be back
at work in a few weeks; biomedical
approaches and other treatments and
techniques are used to achieve
realistic improvements in wellness.
