Disease may be defined as the failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
and stresses adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances. This definition is an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
ecological concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
rather than describing a single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.

physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person’s potential and is

Someone with a headache represents a person with an illness. An illness is made up of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person’s needs and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
other choices represent disease.

ANS: C v
By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion
v v v v v v v v v v v v
ideals and strategies, particularly with the unveiling of the Framework for Health Promotion
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
in Canada at the first World Health Organization (WHO) conference on health promotion in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Ottawa. The overall goal of “achieving health for all” in this report identifies three health
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
, challenges: reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three
v v v v v v v v v
health-promotion mechanisms to address these challenges are self-care, mutual aid, and
v v v v v v v v v v v
healthy environments. The final component of the framework consists of three
v v v v v v v v v v v
implementation strategies: fostering public participation, strengthening community health
v v v v v v v v
services; and coordinating health public policy.
v v v v v v
Healthy People 2020 is a US-based document to guide planning for health care. The WHO
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Quality of Life tool is a quality of life measurement tool used by health care workers. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide
v v v v v v v v v v v v
health promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.

of Canadians through leadership, partnership, innovation, and action in public health. Among
v v v v v v v v v v v v
the agency’s recent plans are three programs: public health infrastructure; health promotion
v v v v v v v v v v v v

Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. It includes health promotion and specific
v v v v v v v v v v v
protection and encourages increased awareness; thus, education about healthy lifestyles fits
