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

nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health
g g g g g g g g g g
derivesfrom the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical,

g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
being, not merelythe absence of disease or infirmity.‖ Nursing includes the promotion of health,
