Answer to Question 1

4. High-level wellness in a favorable environment

Rationale:
High-level wellness in a favorable environment involves biopsychosocial, spiritual, and economic resources that support healthy lifestyles. This client meets those criteria. The client is not emerging into high-level wellness; she has already achieved it. Emergent high-level wellness in an unfavorable environment would be exemplified by a client who has the knowledge to implement healthy lifestyles but does not implement them because of family responsibilities, job demands, or other factors. The client does not have any health problems and therefore does not fit the description of protected poor health.

Answer to Question 2

1. A process
2. A state of well-being
4. A dynamic state of being

Rationale:
Broad definitions of the term health have been developed by various entities, including those mentioned above. It has been described as a process, a state of well-being, and a dynamic state of being. It is not merely the absence of disease. It involves the whole person as well as the environment, not just physiological factors.
