Answer: 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 ofliving; 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, aswell as a focus on health at family
and community levels. Conditions of life, rather than pathological states, are what
determine health.

health care services. Social support affects health, health behaviours, and health care
