ANS: D
Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse can foster wellness in
his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence of
disease.A wellness perspective is based on the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of
his orher situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward
wellnessis possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a supportive environment.

ANS: A
Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes wellness, which in-
volves one’s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never considered by previous generations; through-
out history, basic self-care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-actualization develop through
learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich-
ness to life. Wellness is possible when one’s health is compromised—even with chronic illness, with multiple dis-
abilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.
