B) Health is having fulfillment in all domains of life.


C) Health is having psychological and physiological harmony.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health in the preamble to its
constitution as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease and infirmity. The other answers are incorrect
because they are not congruent with the WHO definition of health.

be a nurse. What is one characteristic the nurse would cite as necessary to possess to
be an effective nurse?


A) Sensitivity to cultural differences
