Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Healthy People 2020 includes four goals, one of which is to create social and physical environments that promote good health for all. The other three include (1) attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; (2) achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; and (3) promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses' attitudes toward health and illness should consider the total person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. All people free of disease are not equally healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social, and spiritual well-being, as well as a focus on health at family and community levels. Conditions of life, rather than pathological states, are what define health.
