Answer to Question 1

1, 2
Explanation: 1. The definition of health becomes more technical as the student advances in the educational program.
2. The definition of health becomes more abstract as the student advances in the educational program.
3. Tangible evidence of health is seen within the healthcare consumer and not the beginning or graduate nurse.
4. Health being viewed as a complex integration of parts would be applicable to the graduate nurse, since this definition is abstract and technical.
5. For the graduate nurse, the concept of health becomes more abstract and technical. There is no way of knowing if defining health becomes easier for the graduate nurse.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Being able to understand health from the patient's viewpoint will lessen the chances of misunderstandings arising between the patient and healthcare provider.
2. Allowing time for the patient to process what the healthcare provider is doing assumes the patient has no understanding of the health care system, which may be erroneous.
3. If treatment is given, the patient needs to agree with the plan of care, but this doesn't always have to be a medical plan of care, which assumes only a given medical regimen has validity.
4. While it is important for the patient to understand what the healthcare provider is saying, it implies that patients cannot understand healthcare language, which may be a misperception on the part of the healthcare provider to the patient.
