ANS: B
Feedback: Physiology is the study of the mechanisms of
human body functioning. Pathology is the study of
changes in cells and tissues as a result of injury or disease.
Anatomy is the study of body structures. Pathophysiology
is the study of mechanisms of disease.

2. Which statement best describes the health–illness continuum?
a. It is a dynamic entity.
b. It is based on objective data.
c. It represents two exclusive categories.
d. It is focused on physical well-being.
ANS: A
Feedback: Health and illness are part of a dynamic continuum. It is based on one’s
perceptions and is subjective. There are a variety of descriptions one can use along the
continuum to describe their current state. These range from “extremely healthy” to
“extremely ill.” Because it is a dynamic continuum, it represents more than two exclusive
categories. The health–illness continuum includes the body, mind, and spirit, not just
physical well-being.
