ANS: A
Holistic care focuses on human integrity and stresses that the body,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


mind, and spirit are interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care
g g g g g g gg g g g g g g g g g g


recognizes the uniqueness of each patient’s preferences, condition, and
g g g g g g g g gg g g gg gg gg


physiologic and psychosocial status. Cultural diversity in health care is not a
gg gg gg gg gg gg g g g g g g g g g g g g


new topic, but it is gaining emphasis and importance as the world
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g gg g g g g


becomes more accessible to all as the result of increasing technologies
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


and interfaces with places and peoples. Interdisciplinary care is care
gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


among a variety of health care professionals with the patient’s health as
g g g g g g gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


the common goal.
