man‘s wellness? xx

ANS: D xx


Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


nurse can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


based on the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


or her situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


dying, a movement toward wellness is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


promotion of well-being in a supportive environment.

xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. Wellness is impossible when one‘s health is compromised.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




ANS: A xx


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


includes wellness, which involves one‘s whole being. The concept of illness prevention
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


was never considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-care
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-actualization develop through
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


turn, with ever-deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one‘s health is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


compromised—even with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

MULTIPLE CHOICE xx




1. Which of the following is a true statement about differing health belief systems?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


by biomedical principles.
xx xx xx


b. In most cultures, older adults are likely to treat themselves using
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


traditional methods before turning to biomedical professionals.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


c. Ayurvedic medicine is another name for traditional Chinese medicine.xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


qualities is characteristic of a magicoreligious belief system.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




ANS: B xx


Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


health care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


for cures or wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


system is a naturalistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


countries. This belief is characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach.

Tost likO
xxel y to be true when working with

N R I G B.C M xx xx xx xx xx xx


an interpreter?
xx xx


a. An interpreter is never needed if the nurse speaks the same language as the patient.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


b. When working with interpreters, the nurse can use technical terms or metaphors.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


c. A patient‘s young granddaughter who speaks fluent English would make the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


best interpreter because she is familiar with and loves the patient.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


d. The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx




ANS: D xx


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


intent is to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


reasons may prevent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


metaphors may be difficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx


some topics from being spoken of to a grandparent or child.
