a. person.

ACCURATE ANSWER:-B dr
Hypothesis:->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
determinants that influence a client’s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as the
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
recipient of
dr dr
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health derivesfrom
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical, psychological,
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health Organization
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
(WHO, 1946) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, social well-being, not
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
merelythe absence ofdisease or infirmity.” Nursing includes the promotion of health, preventionof
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr
illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people.

nursing construct is represented in this situation?
