1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the focus of the
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
health care provided in today’s society. Which statement best describes the current

definition of health?
il! il! il!
a. Health is described as “an absence of disease.” il! il! il! il! il! il! il!

In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured by
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century, however, the focus
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
of health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and wellness. The World Health
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
Organization (2018) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The gains in child health have been
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
huge, but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared equally among all children.

States. Which statement accurately reflects the condition of health care in the past and
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!

il! il!
a. In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was better than it is
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
today due to the simpler style of living.
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
b. In the current century, mortality rates are high, but life expectancy has increased
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
due to technologic advances.
il! il! il! il!
c. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, urban public health improvements made
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
cities healthier places for growing children.
il! il! il! il! il! il!

become the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year old.

In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was poorer than it is today;
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
mortality rates were high and life expectancy was short. Over the years, the health of children
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
received more and more attention, leading to a better understanding of sources of illness and
il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il! il!
improvements in sanitation, water, and nutrition. As a result, by the late 20th century,
