The nurse is demonstrating use of the concept of a. person. b. environment. c. health. d. nursing. SELECTED ANSWER: B The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants that influence a client’s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as the recipient of nursing care, having unique bio-psycho -social and spiritual dimensions. The word health derives from the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, social well -being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people.
