A nurse is assessing a client who practices yoga for relaxation, follows a nutritionally sound diet, and has supportive, sound relationships with her spouse and children. This client would exemplify which of the following levels of wellness?
1. Emergent high-level wellness in a favorable environment
2. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment
3. Protected poor health in a favorable environment
4. High-level wellness in a favorable environment
4. High-level wellness in a favorable environment
Rationale:
High-level wellness in a favorable environment involves biopsychosocial, spiritual, and economic resources that support healthy lifestyles. This client meets those criteria. The client is not emerging into high-level wellness; she has already achieved it. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment would be exemplified by a client who has the knowledge to implement healthy lifestyles but does not implement them because of family responsibilities, job demands, or other factors. The client does not have any health problems and therefore does not fit the description of protected poor health.
