Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Statistical indicators of a healthy population include evidence of physical activity, a reduc-tion in obesity, responsible sexual behavior, and improved mental health. Management of al-lergies does not directly apply to any stated indicator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Healing the whole person is the focus of most alternative therapy. Unifying themes among these therapies are the person's inherent recuperative ability, the importance of self-esteem, and the influence of spiritual and emotional beliefs on health. Culture-bound illnesses are not the whole focus of alternative therapies. Alternative therapy is patient-centered. Pure science is not the focus of alternative therapy; in fact, most alternative methods have not been re-searched.
