1. At An International Nursing Conference, Many Discussions And Breakout Sessions Focused On
The World Health Organization (WHO) Views On Health. Of The Following Comments Made By Nurses
During A Discussion Session, Which Statements Would Be Considered A Good Representation Of The
WHO Definition? Select All That Apply.
A) Interests In Keeping The Elderly Population Engaged In Such Activities As Book Reviews And
Word Games During Social Time
B) Increase In The Number Of Chair Aerobics Classes Provided In The Skilled Care Facilities
C) Interventions Geared Toward Keeping The Elderly Population Diagnosed With Diabetes Mellitus
Under Tight Blood Glucose Control By Providing In-Home Cooking Classes
D) Providing Transportation For Renal Dialysis Patients To And From Their Hemodialysis Sessions
E) Providing Handwashing Teaching Sessions To A Group Of Young Children ANS;A, B, C, E
Feedback:
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.
2. A Community Health Nurse Is Teaching A Group Of Recent Graduates About The Large Variety
Of Factors That Influence An Individual's Health Or Lack Thereof. The Nurse Is Referring To The Healthy
People 2020 Report From The U.S. Department Of Health And Human Services As A Teaching Example.
Of The Following Aspects Discussed, Which Would Be Considered A Determinant Of Health That Is
Outside The Focus Of This Report?
A) The Client Has A Diverse Background By Being Of Asian And Native American Descent And
Practices Various Alternative Therapies To Minimize Effects Of Stress.
B) The Client Has A Family History Of Cardiovascular Disease Related To Hypercholesterolemia And
Remains Noncompliant With The Treatment Regime.
C) The Client Has A Good Career With Exceptional Preventative Health Care Benefits.
D) The Client Lives In An Affluent, Clean, Suburban Community With Access To Many Health Care
Facilities.
