Answer to Question 1

1, 2
Explanation: 1. Lifestyle is a major determinant in disease prevention and health promotion.
2. Environmental factors are major determinants in disease prevention and health promotion.
3. A specific determinant to measure progress is not identified.
4. The ability for health status determinants to motivate action has not been identified.
5. Health status determinants are not used to identify ways to reduce health care costs.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Many people associate health and illness as opposites, such that health is good and illness is evil. Therefore, viewing health from this perspective sees health as the freedom from and absence of evil that causes illness.
2. Physical fitness is a functional definition of health, and being physically fit is healthy.
3. Emotional wholeness can be considered health if viewed as the opposite of illness, and therefore ambiguity would not be health.
4. Health as a reward for a productive life infers that a person cannot be productive if he or she is ill, which is not always true.
