ACCURATE ANSWER:-B li
Hypothesis:->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social li li li li li li li li li
determinants that influence a client‘s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as

therecipient of
li li li
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health
li li li li li li li li li li
derivesfrom the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical,
li li li li li li li li li li li li
psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health
li li li li li li li li li
Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as ―a state of complete physical, mental, social well-
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li
being, not merelythe absence of disease or infirmity.‖ Nursing includes the promotion of health,
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li
