Chapter 1- Concepts of Health and Disease
kr kr kr kr kr kr

kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



commentsmade by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



considered a good representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



bookreviews and word games during social time
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



carefacilities kr kr



C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed with kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



cookingclasses kr kr



D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and from their kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



hemodialysissessionskr kr



E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



childrenAns: A, B, C, E
kr kr kr kr kr kr



Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical, mental, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.‖ Engaging in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



vitalin the prevention of disease and spread of germs.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



which would be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



report?
kr



A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native American
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



descent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



stress. kr



B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



regime. kr



C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



manyhealth care facilities.
kr kr kr kr



Ans: B kr



Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



tohealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



levelswithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



―attaining lives free of preventable disease and premature death‖ determinant.
