ANS: D ma



Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurs
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



e can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is multi
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



dimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the bel
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or fu
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



nctional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



wellness is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



being in a supportive environment.

d. Wellness is impossible when one’s health is compromised. ma ma ma ma ma ma ma




ANS: A ma



Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health include
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



s wellness, which involves one’s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



actualization develop through learning and growth— ma ma ma ma ma



as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one’s health is compromised—
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



even with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher l
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



evel of wellness is possible.

MULTIPLE CHOICE ma




1. Which of the following is a true statement about differing health belief systems?
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds by
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



biomedical principles.
ma ma



b. In most cultures, older adults are likely to treat themselves using traditiona
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



l methods before turning to biomedical professionals.
ma ma ma ma ma ma



c. Ayurvedic medicine is another name for traditional Chinese medicine.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite qualitie
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



s is characteristic of a magicoreligious belief system.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma




ANS: B ma



Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



worked as well as expected. After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal health
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



care system. Even in the United States, it is common for older adults to pray for cures or w
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



onder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a naturalist
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This belief is
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



characteristic of a holistic or naturalistic approach. ma ma ma ma ma ma

2. Which of the following consideUratiS

N R I G B.C M ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



n interpreter?
ma



a. An interpreter is never needed if the nurse speaks the same language as the patient.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



b. When working with interpreters, the nurse can use technical terms or metaphors.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



c. A patient’s young granddaughter who speaks fluent English would make the best
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



interpreter because she is familiar with and loves the patient.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



d. The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma




ANS: D ma



The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



to converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may pre
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



vent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphors may be di
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



fficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topics from being s
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



poken of to a grandparent or child.

3. An older adult who is a traditional Chinese man has a blood pressure of 80/54 mm Hg and
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



refuses to remain in the bed. Which intervention should the nurse use to promote and maintai
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



n his health?
ma ma



a. Have the health care provider speak to him.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



b. Use principles of the holistic health system.
ma ma ma ma ma ma



c. Ask about his perceptions and treatment ideas.
ma ma ma ma ma ma

, d. Consult with a practitioner of Chinese medicine. ma ma ma ma ma ma




ANS: C ma



Using the LEARN model (listen with sympathy to the patient’s perception of the problem,
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



explain your perception of the problem, acknowledge the differences and similarities, reco
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



mmend treatment, and negotiate agreement), the nurse gathers information from the patient
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



about cultural beliefs concerning health care and avoids stereotyping the patient. In the assess
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ment, the nurse determines what the patient believes about caregiving, decision making, treat
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ment, and other pertinent health-
ma ma ma ma



related information. Speaking with the health care provider is premature until the assessmen
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



t is complete. Unless he accepts the beliefs, principles of the holistic health system can be p
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



otentially unsuitable and insulting for this patient. Unless he accepts the treatments, consulti
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ng with a practitioner of Chinese medicine can also be unsuitable and insulting for this pati
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ent.

4. Which action should the nurse take when addressing older adults?
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



a. Speak in an exaggerated pitch. ma ma ma ma



b. Use a lower quality of speech. ma ma ma ma ma



c. Use endearing terms such as “honey.”
ma ma ma ma ma



d. Speak clearly. ma




ANS: D ma



Some health professionals demonstrate ageism, in part because providers tend to see many fra
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



il, older persons and fewer of those who are healthy and active. Providers should not assum
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



e that all older adults are hearing or mentally impaired. The most appropriate action

5. The nurse prepares an older woman, who is Polish, for discharge through an interpreter an
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



d notes that she becomes tense during the instructions about elimination. Which intervent
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ion should the nurse implement?
ma ma ma ma



a. Move on to the discussion about medication. ma ma ma ma ma ma



b. Ask the older woman how she feels about this topic.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



c. Instruct the interpreter to repeat the instructions. ma ma ma ma ma ma



d. Have the older woman repeat the instructions for clarity.
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma




ANS: B ma



When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal c
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ommunication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assessment
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



about the older adult’s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her tension, th
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



e nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse procee
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ds and the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, then important instructions ca
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



n be missed, leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions can agg
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



ravate the older adult’s discomfort. Instructing the older adult to repeat the nurse’s instructi
ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma



on ignores her needs.
