ANS: D rq




Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




wellness; a nurse can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




defined by the individual and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the belief that every person
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or
rq rq rq rq r q rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




movement toward wellnessis possible if emphasis of care is placed on the
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




promotion of well-being in a supportive environment.

ANS: A rq




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




r q health includes wellness, which in- volves one‘s whole being. The concept of
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




rq illness prevention was never considered by previous generations; through-out
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




rq history, basic self-care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




rq actualization develop through learning and growth—as basic needs are met,
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




rq higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich- ness to
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




rq life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is compromised—even with
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq




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




rq higher level of wellness is possible.
