Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Risk factors are anything that increases the vulnerability of an individual or group to an illness or accident. This client is identifying the physical risk factor of genetic predisposition to heart dis-ease.
An example of an active strategy would be weight reduction or smoking cessation, where the client is actively involved in measures to improve their present and future levels of wellness.
Health beliefs are a person's ideas, convictions, and attitudes about health and illness. An exam-ple of a health belief would be if the client stated, Heart disease runs in our family. I know I will have heart disease anyway, so why exercise?
A negative health behavior is a behavior that may negatively impact one's health. An example of a negative health behavior would be consistently drinking alcohol in excess.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
When formulating a definition of health, a person should consider the total person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. Health generally implies a state of well-being that is ultimately defined in terms of the individual.
Health is considered to be more than merely the absence of disease.
The definition of health has broadened beyond the physiological state to include mental, social, and spiritual well-being.
An individual who has the ability to pursue activities of daily living may not define himself or herself as being healthy. Life conditions such as environment, diet, and lifestyle practices may negatively impact one's health long before the person is unable to perform activities of daily liv-ing.
