ANS: D
Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a
nurse can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is
multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on
the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her
situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a
movement toward wellnessis possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of
well-being in a supportive environment.

ANS: A
Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health
includes wellness, which in- volves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention
was never considered by previous generations; through- out history, basic self-care
requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self- actualization develop through
learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn,
with ever-deepening rich- ness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is
compromised—even with chronic illness, with multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement
toward a higher level of wellness is possible.
