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.

De website is gebruik vriendelijk, je krijgt meteen de samenvatting na de betaling. Aanbevolen!
Gebruiksvriendelijke, overzichtelijke site. Makkelijk te raadplegen en goede zoekfunctie.
Betrouwbare website. Helpt me goed bij het studeren en herhalen.
Deze site is een uitkomst als samenvatten niet je sterkste punt is. Zeker als je moet leren voor toetsen kun je hier alle nodige info vinden. Win-win.
Downloaden maar! Goede site met goede documenten. De prijs wordt aangepast o.b.v. de beoordelingen.
Ik vind Knoowy de max! Door de hulp van andere studenten kan ik mijn examens makkelijker halen.
Zeker de moeite als je een groot vak op het nippertje niet helemaal rond zou krijgen.
Prima service, snelle afhandeling. Ik ga hiervan gebruik maken gedurende mijn hele studie.
