Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: In the adaptive model, health is a creative process; disease is a failure in adaptation or maladaptation. The aim of treatment is to restore the ability of the person to adapt and cope, as in a rehabilitation setting. The role performance model defines health in terms of the individual's ability to fulfill societal roles or to perform work. According to this model, people who fulfill their roles are healthy, even though they may have an illness. The eudemonistic model incorporates a comprehensive view of health, which is seen as a condition of actualization or realization of a person's potential. The clinical model is a narrow interpretation of health, which is defined by the absence of disease.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The social component of wellness focuses on the ability to interact successfully with people and within the environment of which each person is a part, to develop and maintain intimacy with significant others, and to develop respect and tolerance for those with different opinions and beliefs. The physical component of wellness is the ability to carry out daily tasks, achieve fitness of all body systems, and practice positive lifestyle habits. The emotional component deals with the ability to manage stress and express emotions appropriately. The environmental component focuses on the health measures that improve the standard of living and quality of life in the community.
