I had the Cambridge textbook which is probably different. I personally never did textbook questions, but that doesn't mean they're not worth doing. If you have 'summary' questions at the end of each chapter, I recommend doing those thoroughly; I'd ignore 'extension' questions as they go beyond what you need. For any other questions, perhaps go over them with dot-pointed/briefer answers to save time. The point isn't necessarily whether they're exam-style, but whether they help you get your head round the content and check you know and can apply what you read; practising helps stick stuff in your head.
Side topic - while I know many disagree, this is why I recommend going over VCAA exams at the start of the year - partly to help you get somewhat of a feel for what 'exam-like questions' are, which helps you make your preparation most targeted and useful.
EDIT: I bet three dollars you'll have given up on them by the end of term 2; the questions do end up quite time-consuming, and can be very off topic - as yearningforsimplicity said, stick like glue to the study design.

So in terms of definitions, I know that this subject is largely based on memorisation. However, does this necessarily mean that we have to memorise each and every relevant definition perfectly, or can it be a few words off?
How precise do we actually have to be when reciting them?

Some definitions in HHD have been developed/created by an official organisation such as the World Health Organisation (WHO), Australian Institute of Health & Welfare (AIHW) or the United Nations (UN). E.g. the definition of 'Mental Health' used by most textbooks (the one that starts off as "Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which an individual realises....") was (if I remember correctly) created by the WHO; so it's one of those definitions that you'd want to be very precise about :)
Usually if a definition has been created by such an organisation, you'd want to ensure that you memorise that definition almost word-to-word or exactly as the organisation has specified it. Just make sure it does closely resemble the original definition :)
