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.
Accurate Answer: b.
watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because 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
Accurate 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 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
Accurate 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.
