Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and s
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



ocial well- zk



being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book reviews f
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



acilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the preventi

on of disease and spread of germs.

Ans: B zk



Feedback:
In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as using alternat
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



ive therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting healt
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



h for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good health (
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



which includes living in a clean community with good access to health care). A client's n

oncompliance with treatments to control high cholesterol levels within the presence of azk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk

French fries every day.” zk zk zk



C) “Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.”

D) “If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins ca

Ans: C zk



Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the pat
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



hogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process from a fa

Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,

such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk zk



and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
