MULTIPLE CHOICE Te




1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te

Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


A) Health is being disease free. Te Te Te Te


B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
Te Te Te Te Te Te


D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te




ANS: D T e


The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect because they are not congruent with
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


the WHO definition of health.
Te Te Te Te Te




2. A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te

effective nurse?

A) Sensitivity to cultural differences Te Te Te


B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving Te Te Te


C) Strict adherence to routine Te Te Te


D) Ability to face criticism Te Te Te




ANS: A T e


To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


must be culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-focused
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


nursing and strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


The ability to handle criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te




3. With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


health and the professional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


the development of organized self-care education programs. Which of the following do these
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


programs prioritize?
Te Te


A) Adequate prenatal care Te Te


B) Government advocacy and lobbying Te Te Te


C) Judicious use of online communities Te Te Te Te


D) Management of illness Te Te




ANS: D T e


Organized self-care education programs emphasize health promotion, disease prevention,
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


management of illness, self-care, and judicious use of the professional health care system.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


Prenatal care, lobbying, and Internet activities are secondary.
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te




4. The home health nurse is assisting a patient and his family in planning the patient's return to
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


work after surgery and the development of postsurgical complications. The nurse is preparing
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


a plan of care that addresses the patient's multifaceted needs. To which level of Maslow's
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


hierarchy of basic needs does the patient's need for self- fulfillment relate?
Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te Te


A) Physiologic
B) Transcendence
C) Love and belonging Te Te


D) Self-actualization
Te ANS: T e D
