1. The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. How should t
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



he nurse best define health?
x* x* x* x*




A) Health is being disease free. x* x* x* x*




B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*




C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.
x* x* x* x* x* x*




D) Health is being connected in body, mind, and spirit.
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*




Ans: D


Feedback:


The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its constitution as a state of c
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



omplete physical, mental, and social well-
x* x* x* x* x*



being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect because the
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



y are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*




2. A nurse is speaking to a group of prospective nursing students about what it is like to be a nurse. What is
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x



one characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to be an effective nurse?
* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*




A) Sensitivity to cultural differences x* x* x*




B) Team-focused approach to problem-solving x* x* x*




C) Strict adherence to routinex* x* x*




D) Ability to face criticism x* x* x*




Ans: A


Feedback:

To promote an effective nurse-
x* x* x* x*



patient relationship and positive outcomes of care, nursing care must be culturally competent, appropriate,
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



and sensitive to cultural differences. Team-
x* x* x* x* x* x*



focused nursing and strict adherence to routine are not characteristics needed to be an effective nurs
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x * x* x* x* x* x*



e. The ability to handle criticism is important, but to a lesser degree than cultural competence.
x* x* x * x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*




3. With increases in longevity, people have had to become more knowledgeable about their health and the
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



professional health care that they receive. One outcome of this phenomenon is the development of organ
x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x* x*



ized self-care education programs. Which of the following do these programs prioritize?
