Question 1

In Newman's view, health is composed of:&#10;A) Mental well-being.&#10;B) Both disease and wellness.&#10;C) Medical cure of disease.&#10;D) A positive mental attitude.

Accepted Answer

Newman's view is that health is a combination of both disease and wellness. It is not just the absence of disease, but also the presence of wellbeing and vitality. Mental wellbeing and a positive mental attitude can be components of wellness, but they are not the entirety of health. Medical cure of disease is important, but does not encompass all of health. Therefore, option B is the best choice.

Question 2

The nurse, through attention and partnership, should try to facilitate:&#10;A) Healing.&#10;B) Medical procedures.&#10;C) Patient transformation.&#10;D) Patient relaxation.

Accepted Answer

Patient transformation.

Question 3

Patients faced with life-threatening events or terminal illness often reflect on their lives and find ways to change their priorities. This process is termed by Newman as:&#10;A) Insight.&#10;B) Retrenching.&#10;C) Lifestyle change.&#10;D) Self-healing.

Accepted Answer

Insight.

Question 4

The information that provides the patient's system the capacity to interact with the environment is called:&#10;A) Consciousness.&#10;B) Subconsciousness.&#10;C) Caution.&#10;D) Intuition.

Accepted Answer

Consciousness refers to the state of awareness and perception that allows an individual to interact and respond to their environment. It is the information processing system that enables a person to receive, process, and respond to sensory stimuli, recognize and interpret patterns, and make decisions based on available information. Subconsciousness, caution, and intuition may also play a role in perception and decision-making but are not the primary systems that allow for interaction with the environment.

Question 5

To understand the patient better, Newman suggests the nurse should use a series of:&#10;A) Biometric tests.&#10;B) Clarifying questions&#10;C) Surveys.&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Newman suggests using clarifying questions to better understand the patient, as this allows for more personalized and specific information to be gathered. Biometric tests and surveys may provide quantitative data, but they do not provide the same depth of understanding as engaging with the patient through conversation.

Question 6

According to Newman, being in the present with a family and not being chained by linear time is an example of:&#10;A) Resonating with the whole.&#10;B) Attention to pattern and meaning.&#10;C) Process of expanding consciousness.&#10;D) Choice points for action potential.

Accepted Answer

Newman discusses how being in the present moment with one's family and experiencing a sense of timelessness can lead to a process of expanding consciousness. This involves breaking free from the limitations of linear time and the ego, and connecting to a larger, more holistic sense of being. Thus, choice C is the best answer.

By actively listening to the patient and addressing their emotional and spiritual needs in addition to their physical symptoms, healthcare professionals can provide more holistic and effective care.

Newman's focus is on:&#10;A) Healing the patient.&#10;B) Doing research.&#10;C) Partnering with the patient.&#10;D) Partnering with the doctor to fix the patient.

He believed that patients should be active participants in their own healthcare, and that a strong doctor-patient relationship is essential for achieving the best possible health outcomes. This approach is known as patient-centered care. While healing the patient is certainly a goal, it is not the sole focus of Newman's approach.
