Chapter


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.


The best example of the type of concern that is likely to be addressed by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services when target goals for Healthy People
2030 are updated is
a. preference for vegetarian eating patterns among white women.
b. low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children.
c. widespread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic groups.
d. common use of protein and vitamin supplements in athletes. - ANS: B Healthy
People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all
individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health
outcomes. Low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children is
likely to have an adverse effect on their health and so may be addressed when
target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, use of bottled water, and use of

,protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse effect on
nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.


An example of community support for health promotion is
a. teaching a young mother skills in safe food preparation.
b. watching a television documentary about industry errors in food processing.
c. labeling fresh poultry packages with information about proper food storage.
d. being aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food
preparation. - ANS: C Food labeling information is an example of community
support because it is a regulatory measure that supports new health-promoting
behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television, and awareness
may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social context by regulation
or environmental change


An example of a technique for health promotion is
a. exercising five times a week.
b. local supermarkets' expanding the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables.
c. teaching a teenager how to choose healthier foods at fast-food restaurants.
d. information about the relationship of dietary intake and diet-related disorders.
- ANS: C Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed to improve
the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a
teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising regularly contributes to
wellness, but it is not bringing about a change in health unless this is a change in
behavior. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not promote
health, unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage
consumption. Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease
is simply information unless it is used to promote behavior change.


For the efficient functioning and maintenance of the body, a person needs to
consume sufficient amounts of
a. fiber.
b. nutrients.
c. minerals.

,d. supplements. - ANS: B The body needs sufficient amounts of all nutrients for
efficient functioning and maintenance. Both fiber and minerals are needed, but
each represents only one type of nutrient. Supplements are not always
necessary because sufficient nutrients can often be obtained from food.


A nurse has just been assigned to a community health program for older adults.

a. nutrition priorities and goals for older American adults.
b. dietary standards for Americans older than 50 years.
c. dietary guidelines recommended for older adults.
d. MyPlate recommendations for older adults. - ANS: A Healthy People 2020
focuses on targets and goals for improving the health of the nation. The nurse
would check the Dietary Reference Intakes for information about dietary
standards. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate are separate
documents from Healthy People 2020 and focus on specific advice and
guidelines for healthy eating.


A healthy female middle-aged client asks what she can do to prevent the
development of type 2 diabetes. Weight control and nutrition strategies
discussed are considered
a. primary treatment.
b. primary prevention.
c. secondary prevention.
d. tertiary prevention - ANS: B Action to prevent the development of type 2
diabetes is considered primary prevention. Secondary prevention involves early
detection to halt and minimize the effects of the disease, and tertiary prevention
minimizes complications and helps restore health after the disorder has
developed. "Primary treatment" is not a recognized term.


As a home health care nurse, you are visiting a 70-year-old client who has just
returned home from the hospital after being treated for coronary artery disease.
The medical nutrition therapy developed for him by the hospital dietitian is
considered
a. palliative care.

, b. primary prevention.
c. secondary prevention.
d. tertiary prevention. - ANS: D This is an example of tertiary prevention, which
entails minimizing complications and helping restore health after heart disease
has developed. Primary prevention would occur before the disease developed,
and secondary prevention would involve early detection to minimize the effects
of the disease. Palliative care is intended only to minimize symptoms.


A nutrient that can be made by the body is called
a. essential.
b. complete.
c. incomplete.
d. nonessential. - ANS: D Nonessential nutrients can be made by the body.
Essential nutrients cannot be made by the body and must be consumed. The
terms complete and incomplete refer to proteins. Complete proteins contain all
the essential amino acids; incomplete proteins are lacking one or more essential
amino acids.

for his workouts. The type of nutrient that will be most helpful in providing the
energy he needs is
a. carbohydrates.
b. water.
c. minerals.
d. protein. - ANS: A Carbohydrates are the best source of fuel to provide energy
for the body. Protein can also provide fuel for energy, but its primary purpose is
to play important structural and functional roles. Water and minerals are
important for health but do not provide fuel for energy.
