Chapter 3 Health Education and Health Promotion


1. A school nurse is teaching a 14-year-old girl of normal weight some of the key factors
necessary to maintain good nutrition in this stage of her growth and development. What
interventions should the nurse most likely prioritize?
A) Decreasing her calorie intake and encouraging her to maintain her weight to avoid
obesity
B) Increasing her BMI, taking a multivitamin, and discussing body image
C) Increasing calcium intake, eating a balanced diet, and discussing eating disorders
D) Obtaining a food diary along with providing close monitoring for anorexia
Ans: C
Feedback:
Adolescent girls are considered to be at high risk for nutritional disorders. Increasing calcium
intake and promoting a balanced diet will provide the necessary vitamins and minerals. If
adolescents are diagnosed with eating disorders early, the recovery chances are increased.
The question presents no information that indicates a need for decreasing her calories. There
is no apparent need for an increase in BMI. A food diary is used for assessing eating habits, but
the question asks for teaching factors related to good nutrition.


2. A nurse is conducting a health assessment of an adult patient when the patient asks,
ìWhy do you need all this health information and who is going to see it?î What is the nurse's
best response?
A) ìPlease do not worry. It is safe and will be used only to help us with your
care. It's accessible to a wide variety of people who are invested in your health.î
B) ìIt is good you asked and you have a right to know; your information
helps us to provide you with the best possible care, and your records are in a secure place.î
C) ìYour health information is placed on secure Web sites to provide easy
access to anyone wishing to see your medical records. This ensures continuity of care.î

,D) ìHealth information becomes the property of the hospital and we will
make sure that no one sees it. Then, in 2 years, we destroy all records and the process starts
over.î
Ans: B
Feedback:
Whenever information is elicited from a person through a health history or physical
examination, the person has the right to know why the information is sought and how it will
be used. For this reason, it is important to explain what the history and physical examination
are, how the information will be obtained, and how it will be used.
Medical records allow access to health care providers who need the information to
provide patients with the best possible care, and the records are always held in a secure
environment. Telling the patient ìnot to worryî minimizes the patient's concern regarding the
safety of his or her health information and ìa wide variety of peopleî
should not have access to patients' health information. Health information should not be
placed on Web sites and health records are not destroyed every 2 years.

, 3. The nurse is performing an admission assessment of a 72-year-old female patient
who understands minimal English. An interpreter who speaks the patient's language is
unavailable and no members of the care team speak the language. How should the nurse best
perform data collection?
A) Have a family member provide the data.
B) Obtain the data from the old chart and physician's assessment.
C) Obtain the data only from the patient, prioritizing aspects that the
patient understands.
D) Collect all possible data from the patient and have the family supplement
missing details.
Ans: D
Feedback:
The informant, or the person providing the information, may not always be the patient. The
nurse can gain information from the patient and have the family provide any missing details.
The nurse should always obtain as much information as possible directly from the patient. In
this case, it is not likely possible to get all the information needed only from the patient.


4. You are the nurse assessing a 28-year-old woman who has presented to the
emergency department with vague complaints of malaise. You note bruising to the patient's
upper arm that correspond to the outline of fingers as well as yellow bruising around her left
eye. The patient makes minimal eye contact during the assessment. How might you best
inquire about the bruising?
A) ìIs anyone physically hurting you?î
B) ìTell me about your relationships.î
C) ìDo you want to see a social worker?î
D) ìIs there something you want to tell me?î
Ans: A
