1. attending a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart
2. watching a television show about diabetes.

 

1. learning about food safety techniques in a high school economics

 

1. joining a support group to help overcome eating

 

ANS: B

 

Watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is an experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal education.

2. A college student exercises regularly and generally eats a healthy variety of foods, is taking a course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active member of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her what else could be important for he to include in her life to develop her overall wellness?
   1. Growing some of her food

 

1. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats

 

1. Eating meals with friends throughout the week

 

1. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices

ANS: C

Wellness enhances a person’s level of health through the development of each of the six dimensions of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health, and environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods help develop physical health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this example is the development of social health; eating meals with friends throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her food would be another example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor to physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

3. For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat, emotional health can be affected by, which can confuse or

 

1. low blood sugar levels

 

1. high blood sugar levels

 

1. high blood pressure

 

1. extremely low blood pressure

ANS: A

Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late-night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.

4. The best example of the type of concern that is likely to be addressed by the S. Department of Health and Human Services when target goals for Healthy People 2030 are updated is
   1. preference for vegetarian eating patterns among white

 

1. low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American

 

1. widespread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic

 

1. common use of protein and vitamin supplements in

ANS: B

Healthy People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children is likely to hurt their health and so may be addressed when target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, the use of bottled water, and the use of protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily hurt nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.

5. An example of community support for health promotion is

 

1. teaching a young mother skills in safe food

 

1. watching a television documentary about industry errors in food

 

1. labeling fresh poultry packages with information about proper food

 

1. being aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food

ANS: C

Food labeling information is an example of community support because it is a regulatory measure that supports new health-promoting behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television, and awareness may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social context by regulation or environmental change.

6. An example of a technique for health promotion is

 

1. exercising five times a

 

1. local supermarkets’ expanding the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

1. teaching a teenager how to choose healthier foods at fast-food

 

1. information about the relationship between dietary intake and diet-related

ANS: C

Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed to improve the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising regularly contributes to wellness, but it does not bring about a change in health unless this is a behavior change. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not promote health unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage consumption. Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease is simply information unless it is used to promote behavior change.
