  1.  While attending an international nursing conference, many discussions and
    break-out sessions focused on the World Health Organization's (WHO) views on
    health. Of the following comments made by nurses during a discussion session,
    which statements would be considered a good representation of the WHO
    definition? Select all that apply.
    A. Interests in keeping the older adult population engaged in such activities as book
    reviews and word games during social time
    B. Increase in the number of chair aerobics classes provided in the skilled care
    facilities
    C. Interventions geared toward keeping the older adult population diagnosed with
    diabetes mellitus under tight blood glucose control by providing in-home cooking
    classes
    D. Providing transportation for renal dialysis clients to and from their hemodialysis
    sessions
    E. Providing handwashing teaching sessions to a group of young children
    Answer: A, B, C, E
    Rationale: WHO definition of health is defined as "a state of complete physical,
    mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity."
    Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics
    helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps
    with facilitating physical well-being (even though the person has a chronic disease).
    Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.
