Chapter 1. Nursing Today
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Which of the following activities reflect the nurses role in health promotion and wellness?
(Select all that apply.)
1 Screening the local homeless population for head lice
2 Monitoring blood pressures at a community health fair
3 Organizing a foot race to benefit national cancer research
4 Consulting a teenage mother on breast-feeding techniques
5 Providing literature on smoking cessation to client families
6 resenting a nursing workshop on the care of diabetic ulcers
ANS: 1, 2, 4, 5
Nursing responds to this greater concern for health promotion by providing programs in the
community such as health fairs and wellness programs; educational programs for specific diseases;
and client and family teaching activities in hospitals, clinics, primary care facilities, and other
health care settings.
While admirable, organizing a benefit for cancer research is not an activity directed towards
health promotion and wellness but rather towards research that will benefit the population as a
whole rather than specific individuals.
Presenting a workshop on a specific nursing intervention is not an activity directed toward health
promotion and wellness but rather towards professional development of the nurses.

2. Changes in recent population demographics that have impacted the delivery of nursing care
include the following: (Select all that apply.)
, 1 Increased birth rates
2 Increased life expectancy
3 Decreasing rural population
4 Expanding urban settlement
5 Advances in medical modalities
6 Availability of free public education
ANS: 2, 3, 4
Demographic changes affect the population. Changes influencing health care in recent decades
include the population shift from rural areas to urban centers; the increased life span; the higher
incidence of chronic, long-term illness; and the increased incidence of diseases such as
alcoholism and lung cancer. Nursing responds to such changes by exploring new methods to
provide care, by changing educational emphases, and by establishing practice standards.
Recent birth rates have declined.
Advances in medical modalities and availability of free public education do not reflect changes
in population demographics but rather health care advances and social services.
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theories.
Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:
A Psychological needs
B A maximal level of wellness
C Health maintenance and restoration
D nterpersonal interactions with the client
ANS: C
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state in
order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.
Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her
clients, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys
reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared
for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
wellness.
Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she
interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon
interpersonal interactions.
