environmental factors affecting health and illness?
a. They affect one another.
b. They cause illness.
c. They cause patients to react similarly.
d. They can be separated.
ANS: a
Although there is often a tendency to separate social factors from
physical factors, remember that the two areas affect each other
reciprocally. Physical and social factors affect each other, cannot be
separated, and cause each patient to react in a unique manner. They do
not necessarily cause illness or cause patients to react similarly, and they
cannot be separated.
