Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes well
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ness, which involves one’s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never considered b
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
y previous generations; throughout history, basic self-
u u u u u u
care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and self-

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

a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds bybio u u u u u u u u u u u

c. Instruct the interpreter to repeat the instructions. u u u u u u
d. Have the older woman repeat the instructions for clarity.
u u u u u u u u
ANS: B u
When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal commu
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
nication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assessment about the ol
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
der adult’s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her tension, the nurse temporaril
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
y suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse proceeds and the older adult is u
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ncomfortable discussing elimination, then important instructions can bemissed, leading to advers
u u u u u u u u u u u
e effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions can aggravatethe older adult’s discomfort. I
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
nstructing the older adult to repeat the nurse’s instruction ignores her needs.
