  1. A man is terminally ill with end-stage prostate cancer. Which is the best statement about this
    man\u2019s wellness?
    a. Wellness can only be achieved with aggressive medical interventions.
    b. Wellness is not a real option for this client because he is terminally ill.
    c. Wellness is defined as the absence of disease.
    d. Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of
    wellness.
    ANS: D
    Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse
    can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is
    multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the
    belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or
    functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward
    wellness is possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a
    supportive environment.

    c. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and growth.
    d. Wellness is impossible when one\u2019s health is compromised.
    ANS: A
    Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes
    wellness, which involves one\u2019s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never
    considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-care requirements have
    been recognized. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and growth\u2014as
    basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening richness
    to life. Wellness is possible when one\u2019s health is compromised\u2014even with chronic illness,
    with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

    1. Historical influences that have shaped the lives of the majority of the in-between cohort in the
      United States today include which of the following?
      a. Influenza epidemic of 1918
      b. World War I
      c. Child rearing in the Depression
      d. World War II
      ANS: D
      Those who are in the in-between cohort in 2016 were born between 1915 and 1945. The men
      were likely to have fought in World War II. The last of the Holocaust survivors are in this
      group. A person who survived the influenza epidemic would be at least 98 years old in 2016
      and therefore would be considered old-old or a centenarian. Most of those who are of the
      in-between cohort had not reached childbearing age by the end of the Depression. Individuals
      in the in-between cohort would not have been old enough to fight in World War II.

    3. Which nursing intervention is a holistic approach to an older adult?
      a. Performs glucose testing during the weekly worship service
      b. Wheels ambulatory adults to exercise when running late
      c. Assigns female nurses to older women who are Islamic
      d. Allows older adults in a nursing home to eat meals alone
      ANS: C<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      N R I G B.C M
      The nurse uses a holistic approach to the care of an older female adult who is Islamic because
      the woman and her family are more likely to be willing participants in a therapeutic regimen
      that respects a tenet of their culture. Interrupting an older adult\u2019s worship with glucose testing
      can be interpreted as a lack of respect for spiritual needs. The nurse can provide for and
      respect the physical and spiritual aspects of the older adult\u2019s life by testing for glucose before
      the service begins. In transporting ambulatory adults to the exercise program in wheelchairs to
      save time, the nurse disregards the need for self-esteem and exercise, both important aspects
      of physical well-being. Ambulatory adults can walk with assistance, if needed, to exercise
      programs and can benefit from the additional activity and independence. The nurse can be
      tempted to allow an older adult to eat meals alone in his or her room if this will motivate the
      person to eat or if the older adult has dysphasia and is embarrassed. However, although
      focusing on physical needs, the nurse ignores psychosocial and other aspects of health and
      well-being.

      1. An older man who resides in a nursing home has a total cholesterol level of 245 mg\/dL.
        Which nursing intervention is most likely to assist this man in achieving his highest level of
        wellness?
        a. Instruct him about increasing dietary fiber.
        b. Ask the health care provider for a low-fat diet.
        c. Schedule a consultation for him with the dietitian.
        d. Review a menu with him to choose suitable foods.
        ANS: D
        The nurse collaborates with the older adult to choose suitable foods, which is likely to be an
        effective nursing intervention tUo heSlp aNn oTlder aduOlt with hyperlipidemia achieve optimal
        health and well-being; it gives him some control over the regimen and thus engages him in the
        process of lowering serum cholesterol. Informing the older man about dietary fiber offers no
        control to him because he is not part of the decision. Nursing interventions developed with the
        older adult\u2019s collaboration are most likely to help the older adult achieve health and wellness.
        Collaborating with the health care provider for a low-fat diet is a reasonable approach to help
        this man with hyperlipidemia to achieve health and wellness. However, he is more likely to
        have motivation and enthusiasm for a therapeutic regimen over which he has had some
        control. Scheduling a consultation with a dietitian is a reasonable approach to an older adult
        with hyperlipidemia and is a part of a multifaceted approach to optimizing his health.
        However, the older adult is more likely to engage in a regimen over which he has input.

      2. Which approach requires the nurse to integrate and balance all aspects of an individual\u2019s life
        into the plan of care?
        a. Holistic nursing
        b. Healthy People 2020
        c. Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of human needs
        d. Orem\u2019s self-care requirements
        ANS: A<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        N R I G B.C M
        Holistic nursing integrates all aspects of an individual\u2019s life into the plan of care by balancing
        an individual\u2019s internal and external environment with psychosocial, spiritual, cultural, and
        physical processes. Healthy People 2020, an updated document from 2000 that outlines the
        goals for achieving health in this country, is a mandate for health care professionals to follow
        with 467 objectives in 28 focus areas. Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of human needs provides a basis
        for understanding individuals in context and for ranking nursing assessments, diagnoses,
        goals, and interventions in order of importance. Dorothea Orem\u2019s self-care requirements lists
        human needs, including the need for air, fluids, nutrition, hygiene, elimination, activity,
        comfort, relief from suffering, and skin integrity. The nurse helps individuals meet these
        needs to achieve optimal health and wellness.

        1. The nurse plans activities for older women born between 1920 and 1930 and who reside in an
          assisted-living facility. Which is the best intervention for the nurse to implement?
          a. Have them bake cookies twice a week.
          b. Conduct interviews for specific interests.
          c. Arrange dog and cat visits from volunteers.
          d. Take them to the library for guest speakers.
          ANS: B
          The nurse conducts individual interviews with the women to determine their interests and to
          avoid generalizing; as people live longer, they become more and more unique. Because most
          of these women are in their 80s and 90s were born between 1920 and 1930 and have generally
          spent their lives as homemakers, the nurse presumes to know what activities they will enjoy.
          The nurse avoids arranging group activities until individual interests are determined. In
          addition, the nurse must assessUforSalleNrgieTs and inOdividual fears of animals before exposing an
          older adult to a pet visit. Unless it is organized on a voluntary basis, the nurse avoids
          arranging visits by guest speakers. In addition, the nurse will assess each older woman before
          an outside visit to avoid embarrassing events, including incontinence and hearing and vision
          problems.

        2. Which of the following issues in the care of older adults are identified in Healthy People
          2020?
          a. Delineating nursing staffing levels in long term care
          b. Eradicating pressure ulcers in all care settings
          c. Identifying minimum levels of training for people who care for older adults
          d. Instituting mandatory training in identification of elder abuse for all caregivers of
          older adults
          ANS: C
          Identifying minimum training levels for people who care for older adults is one of the issues
          identified in Healthy People 2020. The rest of the issues are not discussed in Healthy People
          2020.
