1. Examples of informal education include
attending a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart
a. Association.
b. watching a television show about diabetes.
c. learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics course.
d. joining a support group to help overcome an eating disorder.

experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group
would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal
education.

2. A college student exercises regularly and generally eats a healthy variety of foods, is taking a
course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active member of
an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her emotions. What else
could be important for her to include in her life in order to develop her overall wellness?
a. Growing some of her own food
b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats
c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices
ANS: C
Wellness enhances a persons level of health through development of each of the six dimensions of
health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health, and
environmental health. Exercise and eating a health variety of foods help develop physical health;
taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced food
helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual
health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this
example is development of social health; eating meals with friends throughout the week would add
this dimension. Growing her own food would be another example of environmental health; keeping
a food record would be another contributor to physical health; and meeting with a registered
dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

3. For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat, emotional health
can be affected by _____, which can cause confusion or anxiety.
a. low blood sugar levels
b. high blood sugar levels
c. high blood pressure
, d. extremely low blood pressure
ANS: D
Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease,
which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late night binges on
snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less direct effect on
emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood
sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine
consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.

4. The best example of the type of concern that is likely to be addressed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services when target goals for Healthy People 2030 are updated is
a. preference for vegetarian eating patterns among white women.
b. low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children.
c. widespread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic groups.
d. common use of protein and vitamin supplements in athletes.
ANS: B
Healthy People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all individuals. It
addresses environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake of fruits and
vegetables by African American children is likely to have an adverse effect on their health and so
may be addressed when target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, use of bottled water, and use
of protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse effect on nutritional health
and so are less likely to be addressed.

5. An example of community support for health promotion is
a. teaching a young mother skills in safe food preparation.
b. watching a television documentary about industry errors in food processing.
c. labeling fresh poultry packages with information about proper food storage.
d. being aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food preparation.
ANS: C
Food labeling information is an example of community support because it is a regulatory measure
that supports new health-promoting behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television
and awareness may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social context by regulation or
environmental change.

a. exercising five times a week.

groups, and communities, such as teaching a teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising
