Chapter 01: Health and Wellness Potter et al: Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing, 6th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. The nurse is using the population health promotion model to develop actions for... improving health. After asking, “On what should we take action?”; “How should we take action?”; and “Why should we take action?” the nurse will ask which of the following questions? 2. The principle “Health promotion is multisectoral” means which of the following? 3. According to the World Health Organization, what is the best description of “health”? 4. What priority strategy for health promotion in Canada is optional but seen as important to incorporate in nursing education curricula? 5. Which of the following is a prerequisite for health, as identified by the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion? 6. The determinant of health with the greatest effect on the health of Canadians is which of the following? 7. A paraplegic patient in the hospital for an electrolyte imbalance is receiving care at which prevention level? 8. The nurse incorporates levels of prevention on the basis of patient needs and the type of nursing care provided. Which of the following is an example of tertiary level preventive caregiving? Tertiary prevention is provided when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. At this level, the hospice nurse aims to help the patient and his or her family to achieve a high level of function, despite the limitations caused by the patient’s illness. Teaching a patient how to irrigate a new colostomy is an example of secondary prevention. If the colostomy is to be permanent, care may later move to the tertiary level of prevention. Providing a lesson on hygiene for an elementary school class and informing a patient about available immunizations are examples of primary prevention.

The nurse is working on a committee to evaluate the need for increasing the levels of fluoride in the drinking water of the community. In doing so, the nurse is fostering which concept? a. Anticipatory prevention. b. Primary prevention. c. Secondary prevention. d. Tertiary prevention. ANS: B Fluoridation of municipal drinking water and fortification of homogenized milk with vitamin D are examples of primary prevention strategies. With active strategies of health promotion, individuals are motivated to adopt specific health programs such as weight reduction and smoking cessation programs. “Anticipatory prevention” is not a known concept. Secondary prevention promotes early detection of disease (e.g., screening). Tertiary prevention activities are initiated in the convalescence phase of disease.

The nurse is working in a clinic that is designed to provide health education and immunizations. As such, this clinic focuses on which type of prevention? a. Primary prevention. b. Secondary prevention. c. Tertiary prevention. d. Diagnosis and prompt intervention. ANS: A Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction and is applied to people considered physically and emotionally healthy. Health promotion 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 is provided 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.

TOP: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance 13. Risk factors can be placed in the following interrelated categories: genetic and physiological factors, age, physical environment, and lifestyle. The presence of any of these risk factors means which of the following? a. A person with the risk factor will get the disease. b. The chances of getting the disease are increased. c. The disease is guaranteed not to develop if the risk factor is controlled. d. Risk modification will have no effect on disease prevention. ANS: B The presence of risk factors does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease or dysfunction. Control of risk factors does not guarantee that a disease will not develop. However, risk factor identification assists patients in visualizing those areas in life that can be modified or even eliminated to promote wellness and prevent illness.

TOP: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance 18. When the nurse is educating an adult patient about health promotion activities, which of the following is the most important internal patient factor for the nurse to consider? a. Emotional wellness. b. Developmental stage. c. Professed spirituality. d. Levels of education and literacy. ANS: D Levels of education and literacy are important influences to consider when the nurse is educating an adult patient about health promotion activities. Literacy can influence health both directly (e.g., with regard to medication use, safety practices) as well as indirectly (through use of services, lifestyles, income, work environments, and stress levels). Spirituality is reflected in a person’s values and beliefs, the relationships established with family and friends, and the ability to find hope and meaning in life; however, these can change throughout life; however, it is not the most important factor to consider. The nurse must consider the patient’s level of growth and development when using the patient’s health beliefs and practices as a basis for planning care, but this is not the most important patient factor to consider. In this case, the patient is at the adult developmental stage. The patient’s emotional wellness—degree of stress, depression, or fear, for example—can influence health beliefs and practices. The manner in which a person handles stress throughout each phase of life will influence the way he or she reacts to illness. However, this is not the best available option.

When discussing the effect of a known risk factor on a patient’s health, what would the nurse would say? a. “It doesn’t mean that you’ll get the disease, just that the odds are greater for you.” b. “Now that you know the possibility is there, you can take steps to prevent it.” c. “This risk factor can be managed by making a change to your lifestyle.” d. “You’re lucky because you have the benefit of being able to do something about it.” ANS: A NURSINGTB.COM The presence of risk factors does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease or dysfunction. Although the statement “Now that you know the possibility is there, you can take steps to prevent it” is not incorrect, it does not address the effect of the risk factor on the patient’s health. It is not always true that a risk factor can be managed by making lifestyle changes. The strategy of telling the patient that he or she is lucky and has the benefit of being able to do something about a risk factor minimizes the patient’s concern, and does not address the effect of the risk factor on the patient’s health.
