Examples of informal education include a. attending a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart Association. b. watching a television show about diabetes. c. learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics course. d. joining a support group to help overcome an eating disorder. ANS: B Watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is an experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal education.

Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats 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.

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.

An example of community support for health promotion is a. teaching a young mother skills in safe food preparation. b. watching a television documentary about industry errors in food processing. c. labeling fresh poultry packages with information about proper food storage. d. being aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food preparation. ANS: C Food labeling information is an example of community support because it is a regulatory measure that supports new health-promoting behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television, and awareness may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social context by regulation or environmental change.

ANS: C Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed to improve the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising regularly contributes to wellness, but it is not bringing about a change in health unless this is a change in behavior. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not promote health, unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage consumption. Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease is simply information unless it is used to promote behavior change.

As a home health care nurse, you are visiting a 70-year-old client who has just returned home from the hospital after being treated for coronary artery disease. The medical nutrition therapy developed for him by the hospital dietitian is considered a. palliative care. b. primary prevention. c. secondary prevention. d. tertiary prevention. ANS: D This is an example of tertiary prevention, which entails minimizing complications and helping restore health after heart disease has developed. Primary prevention would occur before the disease developed, and secondary prevention would involve early detection to minimize the effects of the disease. Palliative care is intended only to minimize symptoms.

When clients have a strong family history of both heart disease and cancer, the nurse should encourage them to reduce their intake of a. dietary fiber. b. protein. c. monounsaturated fat. d. saturated fat. ANS: D Saturated fat intake is related to risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Monounsaturated fat intake has less effect on risk of these diseases. Dietary fiber intake should be increased to help reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The effects of protein intake on risk of these diseases are much less significant.

ANS: A Data from NHANES represent America overall because the survey populations are carefully selected to represent the total population. Their data therefore provide a better indication of the nation’s overall health than do large amounts of data from all over the country. It does not focus specifically on populations at high risk for disease. Standardization over time provides useful data on trends and changes but does not reveal the overall health of the nation.

In working with an ethnic minority population, a helpful way to increase health literacy could be to a. invite members of the community to help identify needs and teaching strategies. b. encourage acculturation and adoption of healthful American eating patterns. c. set up a feeding program to provide healthy food for members of the community. d. use visual aids rather than written materials during health education encounters. ANS: A Members of an ethnic minority population can be very helpful in identifying needs and effective teaching strategies for people in their community and in encouraging people in the community to accept advice from nurses or other health professionals. They do not necessarily need to adopt American eating patterns; often these are less healthful than their traditional eating patterns.

Vitamins cannot be converted into other vitamins; each has a specific function, and the best way to consume adequate amounts of each vitamin is to eat a variety of foods. Vitamin C is water soluble, but it cannot be converted to other water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C is needed by the body at all times, not just when someone is ill. A multivitamin supplement would provide a better range of vitamins than just vitamin C, but it is still better to consume vitamins from food, rather than from supplements.

For a mother with two children who works in health care management 60 to 70 hours a week, the biggest barrier to healthy eating is likely to be a. lack of concern for her own or her children’s health. b. inadequate income to purchase healthy foods. c. insufficient time to plan and prepare healthful meals. d. lack of knowledge about healthy eating. ANS: C For busy professionals and families, the biggest barrier to healthy eating is usually hectic schedules and lack of time to plan and prepare healthy meals. Most mothers, especially those who work in a health care field, are concerned about their family’s health. Many professional women have at least some understanding of healthy eating. With a professional job, lack of income is not very likely to be a barrier to healthy eating.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance is the amount that meets the needs of most health individuals in a life-stage and gender group, but it is not the upper level for safety. Manufacturers do not necessarily provide reliable information about safety of supplements they are marketing.

Why is it difficult to specify the number of grams of protein that he or she should eat each day? a. More research studies are needed to help determine ideal levels of protein intake for various age and gender groups. b. Health care professionals should not give specific advice to clients, to avoid lawsuits. c. It is unrealistic to expect clients to meet precise levels of protein intake. d. Recommended protein intakes are expressed as a range and are based on a percentage of energy intake, which varies between individuals.

She tells you that she believes she is genetically designed to be overweight and that the foods available in supermarkets today make weight loss impossible. The client’s attitude shows a. positive self-efficacy. b. negative self-efficacy. c. poor environmental health. d. poor emotional health. ANS: B The client’s attitude demonstrates negative self-efficacy. She does not perceive that she has power over her life and behaviors. A belief that she could change her personal behaviors would reflect positive self-efficacy. She is able to express her feelings, and so she does not necessarily have poor emotional health.

The food is abundant, and she may choose to binge and overeat, but her selections are made according to her food preference.

A mother tells you that she does not allow her young children to eat while they watch television, even though her husband often eats high-fat, sugary foods while they watch television as a family. The most important thing to discuss with her is the a. genetic factor of preference for sweet and salty tastes. b. influence of ethnicity on preference for sour tastes. c. children’s weights when they were born and their weights now. d. environmental effects of parental food choices and television watching.

Preventing young children from eating while watching television will have only a short-term effect, and they are likely to imitate their father in eating high-fat, high-sugar snacks. The father’s food preferences are probably influenced by genetics and ethnicity, and it may be interesting to find out whether the children’s current weights are healthy for their heights (although their birth weight is probably not relevant), but this information has less immediate effect on the nutritional health of this family.

If a middle-aged couple with two teenage children has insufficient income to purchase food, the most helpful program for them would be the a. MyPlate food guidance system. b. National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. c. federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). d. Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). ANS: C SNAP provides financial assistance to buy nutritious foods for individuals and families with incomes below certain levels. WIC provides assistance only to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and to infants and children up to the age of 5 who are at nutritional risk. School meal programs would benefit the children but not the adults. MyPlate would help the family make healthy food choices but would not help with their financial problems.

For most Americans, the most significant nutrition concerns are a. lack of interest in making healthy food choices. b. poor availability of fruits and vegetables in many areas. c. excessive intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugars. d. inadequate intake of key vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. ANS: C Most Americans have high intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugars, which is associated with increased prevalence of chronic disease. Many people have inadequate intake of micronutrients, but this has a lesser overall effect than excessive intakes of fats, sodium, and sugars. Some areas of the country have poor availability of fruits and vegetables, but this is not a widespread problem in the country as a whole. Many Americans express at least some concern about making healthy food choices.

Of the following, the most important overall dietary modification to help reduce the risk of chronic disease is a. eating fewer foods that contain preservatives. b. buying mostly locally grown foods. c. eating more plant-based foods. d. eating more animal-based foods. ANS: C Scientific evidence from the nutrition literature shows that shifting to a more plant-based diet is one of four significant modifications to dietary intake patterns that will improve the overall health of Americans. Preservatives per se have not been associated with health status (although foods that contain preservatives may be more highly processed and may have higher levels of fat, sugar, and sodium and lower levels of nutrients than do foods without preservatives). Buying locally grown foods may be a good agricultural and economic practice, but it does not affect health status. Eating more animal-based foods would be the opposite of what is recommended.

One way to help clients follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans is to encourage them to use a. Healthy People 2020. b. the MyPlate food guidance system. c. the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). d. the Exchange Lists for Meal Planning. ANS: B MyPlate is designed to help clients implement the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Healthy People 2020 sets national targets for health promotion. SNAP provides funds for individuals and families with low incomes to buy nutritious foods. The Exchange Lists for Meal Planning is intended primarily for patients with diabetes and those who need to lose weight; the system helps patients choose appropriate portion sizes to control their intake of fat, protein, carbohydrate, and energy.
