a. The failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli and stresses
UV
adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances
b. Disease and illness are components of a struggle for balance in the bodily systems
c. The failure of a person’s bodily systems in responding to stresses, resulting in a hormonal
imbalance
d. The assault by stimuli and stress on the body’s core defence systems
IA
ANS: A
Disease may be defined as the failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli
and stresses adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances. This definition is an
ecological concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease,
_A
rather than describing a single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.

resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
other choices represent disease.

approach to health?
a. Population Health Promotion Model
D?
b. Healthy People 2020
c. Framework for Health Promotion in Canada
d. World Health Organization Quality of Life
ANS: C
By the mid-1980s, Canada became a world leader in the formulation of health-promotion
ideals and strategies, particularly with the unveiling of the Framework for Health Promotion
in Canada at the first World Health Organization (WHO) conference on health promotion in
Ottawa. The overall goal of “achieving health for all” in this report identifies three health
, challenges: reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three
health-promotion mechanisms to address these challenges are self-care, mutual aid, and
healthy environments. The final component of the framework consists of three
implementation strategies: fostering public participation, strengthening community health
services; and coordinating health public policy.
Healthy People 2020 is a US-based document to guide planning for health care. The WHO
Quality of Life tool is a quality of life measurement tool used by health care workers. The
Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide
ST
health promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.
