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

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

4. Historical influences that have shaped the lives of the majority of

the in-between cohort in theUnited States today include which of the following?
J J J J J J J J J J J
a. Influenza epidemic of 1918 J J J

ANS: D J
Those who are in the in-between cohort in 2016 were born between 1915 and
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
1945. The men were likely to have fought in World War II. The last of the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Holocaust survivors are in this group. A person who survived the influenza
J J J J J J J J J J J J
epidemic would be at least 98 years old in 2016 and therefore would be considered
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
old-old or a centenarian. Most ofthose who are of the in-between cohort had not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
reached childbearing age by the end of the Depression. Individuals in the in-
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
between cohort would not have been old enough to fight in World War II.
