u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


optimal levels of health care. The health care system consists of a network of agencies,

facilities, and providers involved with health care in a specified geographic area. Insurance
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


companies do have involvement in the health care system. The illness of patients is not

4. Patient care emphasis on wellness, rather than illness, begins as a result of:
u u u u u u u u u u u u


a. increased education concerning causes of illness. u u u u u


b. improved insurance payments. u u


c. decentralized care centers. u u


d. increased number of health care givers. u u u u u




ANS: A u


The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today’s emphasis on education
u u u u u u u u u u u u


about issues such as smoking, heart disease, drug and alcohol abuse, weight control, and

mental health and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in an
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care
u u u u u u u u u u u


centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


wellness.
