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
