Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Individuals who live with chronic conditions, such as the loss of a limb, may accommodate their condition fully and consider themselves to be healthy and well. This is not a certainty, however, and the passage of time does not guarantee such acceptance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The presence of an infectious microorganism and the act of treating that agent are associated with the Agent-Host-Environment Model of health promotion and illness prevention. The client's beliefs about health are not central in this scenario, and health promotion and the pursuit of health are not the most important priorities during this active treatment of illness. This client is not being characterized as existing on a point on a health continuum.
