Origin: Chapter 1, 1
1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the
focus of the health care provided in today's society. Which statement best
describes the current definition of health?
A) Health is described as 'an absence of disease.'
B) Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
C) Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
D) Technological gains made in health care are shared equally among all
children. Ans: C
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was
measured by monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past
century, however, the focus of health has shifted to disease prevention, health
promotion, and wellness. The World Health Organization (2013) defines health
as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity." The gains in child health have been huge,
but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared equally among all children.
Origin: Chapter 1, 2
2. The student nurse is learning about the past history of child health and health
care in the United States. Which statement accurately reflects the condition of
health care in the past and current centuries?
A) In past centuries in the United States, the of the country was better than it
is today due to the simpler style of living.
B) In the current century, mortality rates are high, but life expectancy has
increased due to technological advances.
C) In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries urban
public health improvements made cities healthier places for
growing children.
D) By the late twentieth century unintentional injuries rather than infectious
diseases had become the leading cause of death for children older than 1
year old.
Ans: D
Feedback:
In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was poorer than
it is today; mortality rates were high and life expectancy was short. Over the
years the health of children received more and more attention, leading to a
better understanding of sources of illness and improvements in sanitation,
water, and nutrition. As a result, by the late twentieth century unintentional
injuries rather than infectious diseases had become the leading cause of death
for children older than 1 year old.

3. The nurse is administering a number of therapeutic interventions for
neonates, infants, and children on the pediatric unit. Which intervention
contributes to an increase in chronic illness seen in early childhood?
A) Administering antibiotics to prevent lethal infections
B) Vaccinating children to prevent childhood diseases
C) Using mechanical ventilation for premature infants
D) Using corticosteroids as a treatment for
asthma Ans: C
Feedback:
Using mechanical ventilation and medications to foster lung development in
premature infants increases their survival rate. Yet the infants who survive are
often faced with myriad chronic illnesses. Administering antibiotics to prevent
lethal infections, vaccinating children to prevent childhood diseases, and using
corticosteroids as a treatment for asthma may cause side effects, but do not
contribute to chronic illness in children.
Origin: Chapter 1, 4
4. The nurse is reviewing a copy of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report, Healthy
People.
Which nursing action best reflects the nurse fostering this health care agenda?
A) The nurse signs up for classes to obtain an advanced degree in nursing
B) The nurse volunteers at a local health care clinic providing free
vaccinations for low-income populations.
C) The nurse performs an in-service on basic hospital equipment for student
nurses
D) The nurse compiles nursing articles on evidence-based practices in
nursing to present at a hospital training seminar
Ans: B
Feedback:
Healthy People is a comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention
agenda that is working toward improving the quantity and quality of life for all
Americans (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010).
Overarching goals are to eliminate preventable disease, disability, injury, and
premature death; achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the
health of all groups; create physical and social environments that promote good
health; and promote healthy development and behaviors across every stage of
life. Volunteering at a local health care clinic directly reflects the goal of
improving the health of all groups of people. Signing up for classes, performing
in-services on equipment, and compiling nursing articles on evidence-based
practices in nursing are all worthwhile activities that foster health care delivery,
but are not as directly linked to the agenda of promoting health in the
community.
