Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Two overarching goals for Healthy People 2010 are (1) to increase quality and years of healthy life and (2) to eliminate health disparities.
Reducing health care costs was not a goal for Healthy People 2010.
Investigation of substance abuse was not one of the main, overarching goals for Healthy People 2010.
Determining acceptable morbidity rates was not one of the main, overarching goals for Healthy People 2010.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Using a holistic approach involves consideration of all factors that may impact a client's level of well-being in all dimensions, not just physical health. Factors such as diet and exercise can influ-ence one's level of health.
Directing the client to exercise does not address the many factors that may impact one's level of health. This response does not facilitate the client in seeing the connection between lifestyle choices and well-being.
Directing the client to follow physician's orders, though important, does not describe a holistic approach of nursing care. A holistic approach may include a discussion of diet and exercise and the effect these factors have on blood glucose level. The aim is for the client to take responsibility for their health and choices that may impact their health.
Viewing laboratory test results is a part of the nursing assessment. To approach the client holisti-cally, the nurse would need to also assess the client's diet and activity level.
