1. Define and differentiate health and wellness? (20 points)
Fitting on a psychological and physiological level can lead to well-being, according to
the World Health Organization (WHO), which defines health as a condition of total
physical, mental, and social well-being and not only the absence of disease or infirmity. I
believe that is a great place to start on your path to wellness. Wellness is defined as being
in good bodily and mental health and focuses on examining all facets of one's life and
continuously seeking balance. Wellness has an impact on every aspect of life, enabling
you to consistently improve your health and well-being. Having a body that is free of
disease and does not require medication does not imply that you are healthy.
2. What are the 2 dimensions of health and explain each component? (30 points)

When we talk about physical health, it is a condition that refers to the status of your
body, which may call for some understanding of the significance of exercise, wholesome
eating, and enough sleep, as well as the avoidance of bad habits. Koipysheva et al. (2018)
claim that physical health is a dynamic condition characterized by the development of
biochemical, physiological, and mental processes that affect human social behavior and
labor capacity. I believe that it might limit your attention to daily physical activity and
consuming a healthy diet.

According to the World Health Organization, mental health is a state of mental well-
being that allows people to cope with life's challenges, realize their abilities, work and
learn efficiently, and contribute to their communities. For this reason, I think it is a must
to preserve our mental health. If you are psychologically unstable, it doesn't matter how
physically strong you are because I feel that if you haven't addressed any mental barriers,
mindset hang-ups, or past traumas, you might not be successful at overall well-being in
the present. Physical and mental health need to coexist in harmony.

3. Give at least 3 factors in the ecosystem which affect the optimum level of
functioning and explain it briefly. (15 points)
• Political
It is the way that leaders rule, manage, and involve others in their decision- and policy-
making processes.
• Habits
Is a set of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are passed down from one
generation to the next generation.
 • Health care delivery system
The World Health Organization (WHO) gathers information about medical services and
results on a global scale. Every nation has a distinct method for delivering healthcare.
People who are in good health are disease-free and have effective bodies. Research is
done by scientists and medical practitioners to assist people in managing their health.
4. Health as the Basic Human right is embodied in? (10 points)
According to the 1946 WHO Constitution, "every human being has a fundamental right
to the best attainable standard of health." "A fundamental right of every human being"
means that everyone should have access to the healthcare services they require when
and where they require them without facing financial hardship. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has urged all nations to uphold and defend human rights in the area
of health, particularly for those who are marginalized or experience stigma or
discrimination in the workplace, in public institutions, in private organizations, or their
communities. Nobody should be required to undergo medical testing without their
informed consent, be forced to undergo a physical examination, or get treatment.

5. What is the purpose of health education? (10 points)

Health education aims to impart knowledge and influence attitudes among

individuals and communities to improve their health. This type of education, for
example, about how alcohol and certain drugs affect the human body and the
consequences for physical and mental health, as well as family relationships, can play
an important role in shaping one's society.

6. What is the importance of health education? (10 points)

The health of adults is shaped by the habits and experiences of youth, therefore,
educating children about health as early as possible can support their development of
good well-being and academic performance. Numerous health outcomes, including
the reduction of sexual risk behaviors, can be influenced by well-planned and
effectively implemented school health initiatives.

7. What is the legal basis of health education in the nursing curriculum? (10 points)
School nurses maintain confidentiality while adhering to the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act and other laws, regulations, and moral principles governing
health and education in order to protect privacy (Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act, 1974). According to the National Association of School Nurses (NASN),
morality and ethics are universal. In order to provide all nurses with a moral foundation,
NASN endorses the American Nurses Association's (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses
with Interpretive Statements (2015).

8. What is the role of health educator? (10 points)

The Role Delineation Project was established in 1979 to outline the fundamental
functions and duties of health educators. A qualified individual who teaches others
how to live a healthy lifestyle is known as a health educator. Assessing community
needs and creating initiatives to address them is a part of the job.

9. What are the 7 areas of responsibility of Health educator in competence-based

framework of the Professional development of certified health Education
Specialists? Explain each responsibility. (35 points)
• Assess Needs, Resources, and Capacity for Health Education/Promotion
The goal of community empowerment is to allow individuals the freedom to take
charge of their health. A community's health requirements are evaluated in the first
stage, together with the available resources. The final stage is to select the
communication channels that will work best for that community.
• Plan Health Education/Promotion
You must put together a strategy once you have determined the community's health
needs and the most effective way to disseminate health information. You should think
about the finances, stakeholder attitudes, timetables, legal requirements, and overall
viability. The Rule of Sufficiency states that strategies must be sufficiently strong,
efficient, and capable of achieving their stated objectives.
• Implement Health Education/Promotion
Implementing a successful health promotion intervention and/or program necessitates
the use of tools for managing program execution and monitoring program
effectiveness. Use a variety of instructional strategies and methodologies.
• Conduct Evaluation and Research Related to Health Education/Promotion
Your program, as well as any other programs, projects, or policies, must be able to
withstand evaluation. It means that you must be aware of suitable evaluation
methodologies and set attainable, quantifiable goals. To make evaluation, you can
utilize tests, surveys, observations, medical data, and other numbers and facts.
• Administer and Manage Health Education/Promotion
They must be good managers, capable of performing administrative tasks, supervising
staff, and working with community stakeholders. Administrators also can facilitate
cooperation among personnel, both within and between programs.
• Serve as a Health Education/Promotion Resource Person
As a health educator, you are expected to be accessible to the community to address
health issues and answer questions about the community's health. You must
understand where to look for reliable health information, how to judge whether it is
pertinent to your community, and how to effectively share that information.
• Communicate, Promote, and Advocate for Health, Health
Education/Promotion, and the Profession
A health educator is someone with the skills to translate complex scientific concepts
into simple terms. A teacher who can develop and promote laws, regulations, and
policies. Promote a career in health education. Not everyone is aware of the value of
health educators or the part they play in enhancing regional, societal, and international
health.
