MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Examples of informal education include

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.
ANSWERS: : 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.

2. 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 b eNi mRp o r tIan t Gf o r
Bh e.r Ct o inMclude 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
ANSWERS: : 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 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.

3. 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 plasma sugar levels
b. high plasma sugar levels
c. high plasma pressure
d. extremely low plasma pressure
ANSWERS: : A
Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause plasma 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
