1. The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the focus of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the health care provided in today’s society. Which statement best describes the
j j j j j j j j j j j j
j current definition of health? j j j
a. Health is described as “an absence of disease.”j j j j j j j
b. Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
j j j j j j j j j j
c. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
j j j j j j j j j j
d. Technologic gains made in health care are shared equally among all children. j j j j j j j j j j j
ANS: C j j
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured by
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century, however, the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j focus of health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and wellness. The
j j j j j j j j j j j j
World Health Organization (2018) defines health as “a state of complete physical,
j j j j j j j j j j j j
j mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j gains in child health have been huge, but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j equally among all children. j j j

,United States. Which statement accurately reflects the condition of health care in the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j past and current centuries?
j j j
a. In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was better than
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
it is today due to the simpler style of living.
j j j j j j j j j j
b. In the current century, mortality rates are high, but life expectancy has
j j j j j j j j j j j
increased due to technologic advances.
j j j j j
c. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, urban public health improvements
j j j j j j j j j j j
made cities healthier places for growing children.
j j j j j j j
d. By the late 20th century, unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases
j j j j j j j j j j
had become the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year old.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
ANS: D j j
Feedback:
In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was poorer than it is
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j today; mortality rates were high and life expectancy was short. Over the years, the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j health of children received more and more attention, leading to a better understanding
j j j j j j j j j j j j
j of sources of illness and improvements in sanitation, water, and nutrition. As a result, by
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j the late 20th century, unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases had become
j j j j j j j j j j j
the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year old.

3. The nurse is administering a number of therapeutic interventions for neonates, infants,
j j j j j j j j j j j
and children on the pediatric unit. Which intervention contributes to an increase in
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j chronic illness seen in early childhood?
j j j j j
a. Administering antibiotics to prevent lethal infections j j j j j
b. Vaccinating children to prevent childhood diseases j j j j j
c. Using mechanical ventilation for premature infants
j j j j j
d. Using corticosteroids as a treatment for asthma
j j j j j j
ANS: C j j
Feedback:
Using mechanical ventilation and medications to foster lung development in premature
j j j j j j j j j j
j infants increases their survival rate. Yet the infants who survive are often faced with
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j myriad chronic illnesses. Administering antibiotics to prevent lethal infections,
j j j j j j j j
j vaccinating children to prevent childhood diseases, and using corticosteroids as a
j j j j j j j j j j
treatment for asthma may cause side effects, but do not contribute to chronic illness in
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
j children.
