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

ANS: o o A
Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
includes wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
was never considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-care
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-actualization develop through
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn,
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
with ever-deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
compromised—even with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds by oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
ANS: o o B
Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal health
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures or
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
naturalistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
belief is characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach.

The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is

to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
prevent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphors may
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
be difficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topics from
