1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the focus of the
health care provided in today’s society. Which statement best describes the current
definition of health?
a. Health is described as “an absence of disease.”
b. Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
c. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
d. Technologic gains made in health care are shared equally among all children.
ANS: C
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured by
monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century, however, the
focus of health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and wellness. The World
Health Organization (2018) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The gains in child
health have been huge, but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared equally among all
children.

2. The student nurse is learning about the history of child health and health care in the United
States. Which statement accurately reflects the condition of health care in the past and
current centuries?
a. In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was better than it is
today due to the simpler style of living.
b. In the current century, mortality rates are high, but life expectancy has increased
due to technologic advances.
c. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, urban public health improvements made
cities healthier places for growing children.
d. By the late 20th century, unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases had
become the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year old.
ANS: D
Feedback:
In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was poorer than it is today;
mortality rates were high and life expectancy was short. Over the years, the health of
children received more and more attention, leading to a better understanding of sources of
illness and improvements in sanitation, water, and nutrition. As a result, by the late 20th
century, unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases had become the leading cause
of death for children older than 1 year old.
