1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. Ho
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
w should the nurse best define health?
@q @q @q @q @q @q
A) Health is being disease free.
@q @q @q @q
B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
@q @q @q @q @q @q
D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
Ans: D
Feedback:
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @
state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect be
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
cause they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.

B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving @q @q @q
C) Strict adherence to routine
@q @q @q
D) Ability to face criticism
@q @q @q
Ans: A
Feedback:
To promote an effective nurse-
@q @q @q @q
patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be culturally competent, app
@q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q @q
ropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-
@q @q @q @q @q @q
focused nursing and strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effect

mpetence.
