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

Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically,

chronic illness, with multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement toward a
