, RATIONALE:
Although Society Typically Depicts An Absolute Line Of Difference Between Being

Of Being Relatively Unhealthy. Health Is Typically Described As A Continuum That Involves
A Range Of Degrees From Optimal Health At One End To Total Disability Or Death At The
Other. The Line Of Demarcation Is Not Clear. Health Applies To Individuals, Families, And
Communities.
Traditionally, Most Health Care Has Focused On The Treatment Of Acute And Chronic
Conditions At The Illness End Of The Continuum, But This Emphasis Is Shifting To Focus On
The Wellness
End.
