HEALTH ASSESSMENT EVOLVE QUESTIONS
EXAM #1 REVIEW
CHAPTER 1:
1) According to the holistic model, a narrow definition of holistic health includes:
A) an optimal functioning of mind, body, and spirit within the environment.
B) the absence of disease
C) the response of the whole person to actual or potential problems
D) the internal and external environment.
Rationale: From a biomedical perspective, health is defined as the absence
of disease or elimination of symptoms and signs of disease, whereas a
holistic model approach examines mind, body, and spirit working
interdependently within the environment to maintain health
and well- being. Nursing has an expanded concept of health; holistic
health includes the mind, body, and spirit as interdependent and
functioning as a whole within the environment. Nursing diagnoses
are clinical judgments about a person’s response to an actual or
potential health state. In a holistic model approach to health, both the
internal and the external environment affect a patient’s health and
well-being.
2) What type of database is most appropriate when rapid collection of data is required
and often compiled concurrently with lifesaving measures?
A) Episodic
B) Follow-Up
C) Emergency
D) Complete
Rationale: An emergency database includes rapid collection of data often
obtained concurrently with lifesaving measures. An episodic
database is for a limited or short-term problem; this database concerns
mainly one problem, one cue complex, or one body system. A followup database is used to follow up short-term or chronic health
problems; the statuses of identified problems are evaluated at regular
and appropriate intervals.
A complete database includes a complete health history and a full physical
examination; it describes the current and past health state and forms a
baseline against which all future changes can be measured.
3) A medical diagnosis is used to evaluate:
A) person’s state of health.
B) the response of the whole person to actual or potential health problems
C) a person’s culture
D) the cause of disease
