Chapter 01: Health Care Delivery and Evidence-Based Nursing Practice
The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. How shouldthe
nurse best define health?
Health is being disease free.
Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
Ans: D
Feedback:
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.
The other answers are incorrect because they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.
A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a nurse. What is one
characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse?
Sensitivity to cultural differences
Team-focused approach to problem-solving
Strict adherence to routine
Ability to face criticism
Ans: A
Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be
culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-focused nursing and strict
adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The ability to handle
criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their health and the
professional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is the development of
organized self-care education programs. Which of the following do these programs prioritize?
