MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. How is disease defined?
a. The failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli and stresses
adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances
b. Disease and illness are components of a struggle for balance in the bodily systems
c. The failure of a person’s bodily systems in responding to stresses, resulting in a
hormonal imbalance
d. The assault by stimuli and stress on the body’s core defence systems
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Disease may be defined as the failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli
and stresses adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances. This definition is an
ecological concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease,
rather than describing a single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.

c. A state of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being
d. A state of physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person’s
potential and is experienced within a developmental context.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Definitions of health have evolved as the nature of health and illness becomes better
understood. Health is much more than the absence of disease and illness. It is a state of physical,
mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person’s potential and is experienced
within a developmental context.
