Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As a nurse, you are a visible, competent resource for patients who want to improve their physical and psychological well-being. In the school, home, clinic, or workplace, you promote health and prevent illness by providing information and skills that enable patients to assume healthier behaviors. Injured and ill patients need information and skills to help them regain or maintain their level of health; this is referred to as restoration of health. Not all patients fully recover from illness or injury. Many have to learn to cope with permanent health alterations; this is known as coping with impaired functions. Analogies supplement verbal instruction with familiar images that make complex information more real and understandable. For example, when explaining arterial blood pressure, use an analogy of the flow of water through a hose.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Teach family members to help the patient with health care management (e.g., giving medications through gastric tubes and doing passive range-of-motion exercises) when coping with impaired functions. Not all patients fully recover from illness or injury. Many have to learn to cope with permanent health alterations. Health promotion involves healthy people staying healthy, while illness prevention is prevention of diseases. Restoration of health occurs if the teaching is about a temporary tube feeding, not a permanent tube feeding.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
