3. According to the World Health Organization, what is the best description of ―health‖?
a. Simply the absence of disease.
b. Involving the total person and environment.
c. Strictly personal in nature.
d. Status of pathological state.
ANS: B
The WHO defines health as ―…the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one
hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope with
the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of
living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical
capacities.‖ Nurses‘ attitudes toward health and illness should account for the total person, as
well as the environment in which the person lives. People free of disease are not equally
healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social, and spiritual well-being, as
well as a focus on health at family and community levels. Conditions of life, rather than
pathological states, are what determine health.
DIF: Knowledge REF: 2
OBJ: Discuss ways that definitions of health have been conceptualized.

6. The determinant of health with the greatest effect on the health of Canadians is which of the
following?
a. Education.
b. Health services.
c. Social support networks.

influences on health status because they affect many other health determinants.

services. Social support affects health, health behaviours, and health care utilization but is not
the most influential determinant of health.
