MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. How should
the nurse best define health?
A) Health is being disease free.
B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
ANS: D
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.
The other answers are incorrect because they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.
2. A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a nurse. What
is one characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse?
A) Sensitivity to cultural differences
B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving
C) Strict adherence to routine
D) Ability to face criticism
ANS: A
To promote an effective nurse-patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be
culturally competent, appropriate, and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-focused nursing and
TBSM.WS@YAHOO.COM
strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurse. The ability to handle
criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
3. With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their health and
the professional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is the development of
organized self-care education programs. Which of the following do these programs prioritize?
A) Adequate prenatal care
B) Government advocacy and lobbying
C) Judicious use of online communities
D) Management of illness
ANS: D
Organized self-care education programs emphasize health promotion, disease prevention, management
of illness, self-care, and judicious use of the professional health care system. Prenatal care, lobbying,
and Internet activities are secondary.
4. The home health nurse is assisting a patient and his family in planning the patient's return to work after
surgery and the development of postsurgical complications. The nurse is preparing a plan of care that
addresses the patient's multifaceted needs. To which level of Maslow's hierarchy of basic needs does
the patient's need for self- fulfillment relate?
A) Physiologic
B) Transcendence
C) Love and belonging
D) Self-actualization
