Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The patient is defining good health as being the absence of disease since he states being fortunate for not experiencing any major illnesses and not expending much effort to do so. The nurse has no way of knowing if the patient believes good health is effortless. An integrated method of functioning is the definition of wellness which the patient is not describing.

Holistic health care is based on the concept of wellness. When planning holistic care for a patient, the nurse needs to consider psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and intellectual needs in addition to physical needs. Measuring intake and output, daily weights, and ambulating with assistance focus solely on the patient's physical needs and would not address holistic needs.
