disability, injury, and premature death; (2) achieve health equity, eliminate
disparities, and improve the health of all groups; (3) create social and physical
environments that promote good health for all; and (4) promote quality of life, healthy
development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages. - ANSWER A nurse is

b) Focus only on health changes that will lead to better local communities.
c) Create social and physical environments that promote good health.
d) Focus on illness treatment to provide fast recuperation. - ANSWER c) Create
social and physical environments that promote good health.
Healthy People 2020 includes four goals, one of which is to create social and
physical environments that promote good health for all. The goals do not include
continuing current behaviors to reduce stress, focusing only on health changes for
communities, or focusing on fast recuperation.
A nurse is using the World Health Organization definition of health to provide care.
Which area will the nurse focus on while providing care?
a) Focusing on helping patients be disease free
b) Providing care that involves the whole person
c) Assuring that care is strictly personal in nature
d) Directing focus only on the pathological state - ANSWER b) Providing care that
involves the whole person
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a "state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or
,infirmity." Therefore, nurses' attitudes toward health and illness should consider the
total person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. All people free of
disease are not necessarily healthy. Strictly personal and a focus only on
pathological states do not correlate to WHO's definition.
The nurse is preparing a smoking cessation class for family members of patients
with lung cancer. The nurse believes that the class will convert many smokers to
nonsmokers once they realize the benefits of not smoking. Which health care model
is the nurse following?
a) Health belief model
b) Holistic health model
c) Health promotion model
d) Maslow's hierarchy of needs - ANSWER a) Health belief model
The health belief model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and
behaviors. The holistic health model recognizes the natural healing abilities of the
body and incorporates complementary and alternative interventions such as music
therapy. The health promotion model focuses on the following three areas: (1)
individual characteristics and experiences, (2) behavior-specific knowledge and
affect, and (3) behavioral outcomes, in which the patient commits to or changes a
behavior. Maslow's' hierarchy of needs is based on the theory that all people share
basic human needs, and the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor in
determining a person's level of health.
A nurse is using Maslow's hierarchy to prioritize care for an anxious patient that is
not eating and will not see family members. Which area should the nurse address
first?
a) Anxiety
b) Not eating
c) Mental health
d) Not seeing family members - ANSWER b) Not eating
According to Maslow, in all cases an emergent physiological need takes precedence
over a higher-level need. Nutrition is a physiological need and should be addressed
first. Anxiety, mental health, and not seeing family members are all higher-level
needs.
The patient is reporting moderate incisional pain that was not relieved by the last
dose of pain medication. The patient is not due for another dose of medication for
another 2 1/2 hours. The nurse repositions the patient, asks what type of music the
patient likes, and sets the television to the channel playing that type of music. Which
health care model is the nurse using?
a) Health belief model
b) Holistic health model
c) Health promotion model
d) Maslow's hierarchy of needs - ANSWER b) Holistic health model
,The holistic health model recognizes the natural healing abilities of the body and
incorporates complementary and alternative interventions such as music therapy.
The health belief model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and
behaviors. The health promotion model notes that each person has unique personal
characteristics and experiences that affect subsequent actions. The basic human
needs model believes that the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor
in determining a person's level of health. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a model that
nurses use to understand the interrelationships of basic human needs.
A nurse is assessing internal variables that are affecting the patient's health status.
Which area should the nurse assess?
a) Perception of functioning
b) Socioeconomic factors
c) Cultural background
d) Family practices - ANSWER a) Perception of functioning
Internal variables include a person's developmental stage, intellectual background,
perception of functioning, and emotional and spiritual factors. External variables
influencing a person's health beliefs and practices include family practices,
socioeconomic factors, and cultural background.
The nurse is admitting a patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. It is the fourth
time the patient is being admitted in the last 6 months for high blood glucose levels.
During the admission process, the nurse asks the patient about employment status
and displays a nonjudgmental attitude. What is the rationale for the nurse's actions?
a) External variables have little effect on compliance.
b) A person's compliance is affected by economic status.
c) Employment status is an internal variable that impacts compliance.
d) Noncompliant patients thrive on the disapproval of authority figures. - ANSWER
b) A person's compliance is affected by economic status.
A person's compliance with treatment is affected by economic status. A person tends
to give a higher priority to food and shelter than to costly drugs or treatments.
External variables can have a major impact on compliance. Employment status is an
external variable, not an internal variable. A person generally seeks approval and
support from social networks, and this desire for approval affects health beliefs and
practices; noncompliance does not occur from thriving on disapproval of authority
figures.
The nurse is working on a committee to evaluate the need for increasing the levels of
fluoride in the drinking water of the community. Which concept is the nurse
fostering?
a) Illness prevention
b) Wellness education
c) Active health promotion
d) Passive health promotion - ANSWER d) Passive health promotion
, Fluoridation of municipal drinking water and fortification of homogenized milk with
vitamin D are examples of passive health promotion strategies. With active
strategies of health promotion, individuals are motivated to adopt specific health
programs such as weight reduction and smoking cessation programs. Illness
prevention activities such as immunization programs protect patients from actual or
potential threats to health. Wellness education teaches people how to care for
themselves in a healthy way.
The nurse is working in a clinic that is designed to provide health education and
immunizations. Which type of preventive care is the nurse providing?
a) Primary prevention
b) Secondary prevention
c) Tertiary prevention
d) Risk factor prevention - ANSWER a) Primary prevention
Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction and is applied to people
considered physically and emotionally healthy. Primary prevention includes health
education programs, immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities.
Secondary prevention focuses on individuals who are experiencing health problems
or illnesses and who are at risk for developing complications or worsening
conditions. Activities are directed at diagnosis and prompt intervention. Tertiary
prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. It
involves minimizing the effects of long-term disease or disability through
interventions directed at preventing complications and deterioration. While risk factor
modification is an integral component of health promotion, it is not a type of
preventive care.
The patient is admitted to the emergency department of the local hospital from home
with reports of chest discomfort and shortness of breath. The patient is placed on
oxygen, has labs and blood gases drawn, and is given an electrocardiogram and
breathing treatments. Which level of preventive care is this patient receiving?
a) Primary prevention
b) Secondary prevention
c) Tertiary prevention
d) Health promotion - ANSWER b) Secondary prevention
