should the nurse best define health?
Health is being disease free.
Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
Ans: D
Feedback:

definition of health.

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?
Sensitivity to cultural differences
Team-focused approach to problem-solving
Strict adherence to routine
Ability to face criticism
Ans: A
Feedback:
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 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.

Prenatal care, lobbying, and Internet activities are secondary.

, Created By: Irfan Ali
Feedback:
Maslows highest level of human needs is self-actualization, which includes self- fulfillment,
desire to know and understand, and aesthetic needs. The other answers are incorrect because self-
fulfillment does not relate directly to them.
The view that health and illness are not static states but that they exist on a continuum is central
to professional health care systems. When planning care, this view aids the nurse in appreciating
which of the following?
Care should focus primarily on the treatment of disease.
A persons state of health is ever-changing.
A person can transition from health to illness rapidly.
Care should focus on the patients compliance with interventions.
