Page 1
,Rationale: 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.

3. Which concept is often equated with health?
A. Homeostasis
B. Disease
C. Objectivity
D. An uneventful physical examination
Answer: A
Rationale: Homeostasis is an important body goal and is often reflected in the client’s
perception of the health–illness continuum. Disease is the functional impairment of
cells, tissues, organs, or organ systems. Because health is reflected in the client’s
perception of the health–illness continuum, it is subjective, not objective. An
uneventful physical examination would only be on aspect of health. The health–illness
continuum includes the body, mind, and spirit.
