MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. A man is terminally ill with end-stage prostate cancer. Which is
the best statement about this man’s wellness?
a. Wellness can only be achieved with
aggressive medical
interventions.
b. Wellness is not a real option for this
client because he
is terminally ill.
c. Wellness is defined as the absence of
disease.
d. Nursing interventions can help empower
a client to
achieve a higher level of wellness.

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 or her situation or functional level. Even in the
presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward wellness is possible
if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a supportive
environment.

2. In differentiating between health and wellness in health care, which of the
following statements

,is true?
a. Health is a broad term encompassing
attitudes and
behaviors.
b. The concept of illness prevention was
never considered
by previous generations.
c. Wellness and self-actualization develop
through learn-
ing and growth.
d. Wellness is impossible when one’s
health is compro-
mised.

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.
