Chapter 6: Promoting Wellness
A nurse is planning wellness activities for an older adult. What is the popular standard by which health
is being defined for older people?
a. The maintenance of independence
b. The absence of debilitating diseases
c. The ability to pay for needed health services
d. The ability to participate in aerobic exercises
✔️ Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The maintenance of independence in self-care is the best standard by which health is
defined for older people. Independence reflects functional ability and quality of life. Option B is
incorrect because the absence of disease is not a realistic standard for older adults. Option C addresses
financial concerns rather than health status. Option D focuses on only one aspect of physical fitness
and does not represent the comprehensive definition of health for older adults.
A nurse is discussing chronic disease management with an older patient. Which is NOT a goal when
treating chronic diseases?
a. Symptom management
b. Prevention of disabling side effects
c. Maximizing the individual's strengths
d. Focusing on curing the disease process
✔️ Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Chronic diseases cannot be cured but are managed for symptom control, prevention of
disabling side effects, and maximizing the individual's strengths and functional level. Options A, B, and
C are appropriate goals in chronic disease management. Option D is incorrect because chronic
diseases are managed rather than cured.
, A nurse is caring for an older adult with arthritis. What is the best description of health promotion for
individuals with arthritis?
a. Activity restrictions to minimize joint pain
b. Pain management to enhance normal physical activity
c. Referral to herbalists and massage therapists to seek potential disease cures
d. Use of walkers and wheelchairs early in the disease process
✔️ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining physical activity has the positive effect of increasing bone mass, promoting
joint mobility, fostering independence, and supporting emotional health. Option A would have a
negative effect on self-care and mobility. Option C is inappropriate as alternative therapies may help
symptoms but do not cure chronic disease. Option D would foster dependency rather than promoting
independence.
A nurse educator is teaching about wellness in older adults. "One does not have to be free of disease
to experience the benefits of wellness and the positive side of living." What does this statement mean
in relationship to the health of older people?
a. Illness is not a good excuse for being inactive
b. People's needs are important, even if they are ill
c. A good attitude makes aging a positive learning experience
d. Individuals do not have to limit their experience of health simply because they have illness
✔️ Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Health and health promotion can address the vitality and independence of older people;
the experience of health is not reserved only for persons who do not have an illness. Options A, B, and
C, while potentially true statements, do not fully capture the meaning that individuals can experience
wellness despite the presence of chronic disease.
A nurse is selecting health-promotion programs for older adults. Which purpose statement would
most likely appeal to older people selecting a health-promotion program?
