A man is terminally ill with end-stage prostate cancer. Which is the best statement about this
man’s 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.

a. Health is a broad term encompassing attitudes and behaviors.
b. The concept of illness prevention was never considered by previous generations.
c. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and growth.
d. Wellness is impossible when one’s health is compromised.
ANS: A
Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes
wellness, which involves one’s 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—as
basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening richness
to life. Wellness is possible when one’s health is compromised—even with chronic illness,
with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

Goed voor als je een samenvatting nodig hebt of de leerstof niet zo goed snapt, maar ook voor als je bijles nodig hebt.
Knoowy heeft mij geholpen om aan samenvattingen te komen, zodat ik tijd bespaar door het zelf niet te hoeven maken.
Uitgebreid aanbod en zeer gebruiksvriendelijk! Al meerdere malen gebruik gemaakt en zoals steeds tevreden.
Online kun je studenten helpen met notities en samenvattingen terwijl je niet meer echt naar je samenvatting hoeft om te kijken. Het past goed bij je studie en je kunt tegelijk wat bijverdienen!
Een goede site voor samenvattingen en leren. Ik kan iedereen aanraden om deze site te gebruiken.
Super handig als je weinig tijd hebt. Samenvattingen zijn makkelijk te vinden en keuze is groot.
Prima samenvattingen van veel verschillende vakken die je goed kunt gebruiken.
Aan te raden! Goedkoop en snel! Het aanbod is heel goed en je kan je favoriete personen volgen.
