Accepted Answer

Smoking and sexual promiscuity are both examples of self-imposed risk behaviors, while low income, substandard living conditions, and lack of education are not necessarily behaviors that individuals choose to engage in.

Accepted Answer

An exacerbation of a disease refers to a worsening of the signs and/or symptoms of the disease. Option B is incorrect as it describes the absence of symptoms, which is not the case with exacerbation. Option C is partially correct as exacerbation can include a group of symptoms, but it is not the most specific choice. Option D is also incorrect as it describes a general feeling of unhealthiness, which is not the same as exacerbation.

Question 7

Which of the following is the most current definition of wellness?&#10;A) The absence of disease&#10;B) The absence of risk factors in an individual's life&#10;C) The perception that an individual has of his or her risk factors&#10;D) The way an individual feels about his or her health and quality of life

Accepted Answer

The most current definition of wellness is holistic and encompasses physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. This definition includes not only the absence of disease, but also the individual's overall perception and feelings about their health and quality of life. Option A is too narrow and only focuses on the absence of disease, while option B is not inclusive of all aspects of wellness. Option C is also too narrow, as it only considers an individual's perception of their risk factors and not their overall well-being.

Question 8

&#34;Compensation&#34; lies at the centre of the health-illness continuum. What does this mean?&#10;A) The client is close to an optimal health state.&#10;B) The client is close to a poor health state.&#10;C) The client is in an optimal physical health state but is mentally unhealthy.&#10;D) The client is neither in an optimal nor poor health state but is able to continue with life activities.

Accepted Answer

Compensation refers to the body's ability to maintain stability and function in response to internal and external changes. When the body is able to compensate, it is not in an optimal state of health but is still able to continue with life activities. Therefore, choice (D) is the best answer.

Question 9

Historically, health was described as absence of disease. How did the World Health Organization (WHO) define health in 1948?&#10;A) As a high level of physical fitness&#10;B) As a sense of wellness&#10;C) As being multidimensional&#10;D) As a condition caused by social circumstances

Accepted Answer

The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in 1948 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition highlights that health is multidimensional, encompassing physical, mental, and social aspects of well-being, not just the absence of illness. It goes beyond previous understandings of health as simply the lack of disease. Option A and D do not accurately reflect the WHO definition of health, and option B is too vague.

During the acknowledgement stage, the individual becomes aware of their symptoms and often seeks medical help. This is the stage where denial begins to fade away and acceptance of the illness begins.
