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.

it is an 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
CORRECT ANSWER: 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
~3~
, 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
CORRECT ANSWER: 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
