Define HEALTH as one of the concepts/
components of the Nursing Metaparadigm. - ANS-The 4 components of the Nursing
Metaparadigm : 1. Persons or Client 2. Environment (internal and external surroundings 3.
Health ( the degree if wellness and or well being) 4. Nursing (providing care)
Distinguish between the terms health,
wellness, well-being, illness and disease. - ANS-Health= is the fulfillment of a person's
maximum potential for physical, psychological and spiritual functioning.
Wellness= includes both decision making and self responsibility. achieving the goal of
happiness. (eg managing stress, nutrition)
Well-being= "subjective", one's perception of feeling well. illness= Is ones personal/ symptoms
experience with the disease. Disease= Changes in the bodies function, resulting in reductions in
abilities or shortens life span.
Identify the indicators of well-being - ANS-10 areas (WHF-SLH-SELF) 1. Work 2. Housing 3.
Family 4. Social Participation 5. Leisure 6. Health 7. Security 8. Environment 9. Financial
Security 10. Learning
Review and differentiate between various
historical models of health and wellness. - ANS-5 Different Models: 1. Clinical Model of Health=
Health is --- a state of well being and using every power that individuals possess to the fullest
extent. No symptoms of disease, no state of being sick. Illness is--- is more subjective and
people may consider themselves healthy even if they have physical challenges. This would be
considered an illness. 2. Role Performance Model Of Health= Health is --- defined in terms of an
individuals' ability to fulfill societal roles.
Illness is --- presence of signs and symptoms of injury 3. Agent Host Environment Model=
Health is---when a person or group of people (HOST) is able to prevent an (AGENT) in ones
(ENVIROMENT) from causing an illness or disease. Illness is--- when someone (HOST) is at
risk to an an (AGENT) that is in ones external (ENVIROMENT) that can lead to illness or
disease physical or mental. 4. Illness- Wellness Continua Model= Health --- is changing from
high levels of health & well-being & varies on the continuum Illness --- is levels of health and
well-being 5. Health Withing Illness= "One may be physically ill and at the same time oriented
towards wellness". "One may be physically healthy and at the same time function from an illness
perspective"

was Behaviour and Lifestyle changes. 4 components to health= 1. Biology, 2. lifestyle, 3.
Environment, 4. Health Care organization.
, Discuss the importance of: Epp Report - ANS-Happening in 1986- focus= Challenges to Health
& Inequalities
Discuss the importance of: The Ottawa Charter - ANS-Happened in 1986- Focus= Health
Promotion & Socio-Environmental Aspects of Health
Discuss the importance of: Strategies of Population Health - ANS-Happened in 1994- Focus =
Determinants of Health: this report sets the determinants of health at the frameworks for
population health.

primary health care, social justice and Community Empowerment.
Discuss the importance of: Public Health Goals for Canadians - ANS-Happened in 2005-
focused= to achieve population health and not just individual health. also social determinants of
health.
Discuss (15) key Social Health Determinants in terms of their influence achieving health.

before anything happens
2. Secondary Prevention: focuses on identification and treating it
3. Tertiary Prevention: focuses on restoration and rehab
