would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal
education.

ANS: C
Wellness enhances a person’s 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 healthy 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
ANS: A
Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to
decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make 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.
