Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The biomedical model defines health as the absence of disease. It does not explain why popula-tions remain healthy or how health is enhanced.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The health-oriented perspective includes the view that humans are complex and interconnected with others and the environment. Health behavior within this perspective involves a holistic view of lifestyle and interaction with the environment and not simply compliance with a prescribed regimen.
