Chapter 1: Concepts of Health and Diseases
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.
Ans: B
Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, The Focus Is To Promote Good Health To All (Such As Using
Alternative Therapies To Minimize Effects Of Stress); Achieving Health Equity And
Promoting Health For All (Which Includes Having Good Health Care Benefits); And
Promoting Good Health (Which Includes Living In A Clean Community With Good
Access To Health Care). A Client's Noncompliance With Treatments To Control High
Cholesterol Levels Within The Presence Of A Family History Of CV Disease Does Not
Meet The “Attaining Lives Free Of Preventable Disease And Premature Death”
Determinant.
