group would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered
formal education.

a. Growing some of her own food

c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices
ANS: C
Wellness enhances a person’s level of health through development of each of the six
dimensions of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health,
spiritual health, and environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods
help develop physical health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual
health; buying locally produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a
faith-based organization helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop
emotional health. The missing dimension in this example is development of social health;
eating meals with friends throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her own
food would be another example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be
another contributor to physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute
to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

3. For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat,
emotional health can be affected by , which can cause confusion or anxiety.
a. low blood sugar levels
b. high blood sugar levels
c. high blood pressure
d. extremely low blood pressure
ANS: A
Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to
decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make difficult to control emotions. Late
night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a
less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to
maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on
emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of
caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.
