Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants that influence a client's health perceptions and behavior. Caring is not one of the four central nursing constructs. 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. Person is defined as the recipient of nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions.
