1. At an international nursing conference, many discussions and breakout sessions focusedon the World Health Organization (WHO) views on health. Of the following commentsmade by nurses during a discussion session, which statements would be consideredagood representation of the WHO definition? Select all that apply. A) Interests in keeping the elderly population engaged in such activities as bookreviews and word games during social time B) Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care facilities C) Interventions geared toward keeping the elderly population diagnosed withdiabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cookingclasses D) Providing transportation for renal dialysis patients to and fromtheir hemodialysissessions E) Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children Ans: A, B, C, E Feedback: The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, andsocial well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaginginbook reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitatephysical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitatingphysical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and spread of germs. 2. A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, whichwould be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report? A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native Americandescent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress. B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime. C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits. D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to manyhealth care facilities. Ans: B Feedback: In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as usingalternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access tohealth care). A client's noncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levelswithin the presence of a family history of CV disease does not meet the “attaininglivesfree of preventable disease and premature death” determinant.
