Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

There are different characteristics and behaviors a person demonstrates that can be categorized along the continuum of being psychosocially healthy vs. being psychosocially unhealthy. Those who are unhealthy psychosocially are at risk for the onset of an illness. Individuals who are psychosocially healthy will demonstrate a zest for life, manage time well, are adaptable to change, demonstrate coping skills, and respect nature. Those who are psychosocially unhealthy will demonstrate pessimism, will openly laugh at others, are a challenge to be around, have little fun, and are self-absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Psychosocial health includes mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. When one part is missing or dysfunctional, all other parts of the individual are affected. Social functioning refers to the ability to form relationships with others. Mental functioning refers to the ability to cognitively process and interact with the environment. The emotional dimension is subjective and includes one's feelings. Spirituality refers to the beliefs and values that give meaning to life.
