Answer to Question 1

A
The concept of health usually refers to the total well-being of the whole person. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) describes health as the maintenance of harmony and balance among body, mind, and spirit.

Answer to Question 2

D
Licensure is a mandatory system of granting licenses according to specified standards. It is regulated by each state. All health care facilities must be licensed. Each state has an agency that sends a team to visit each facility annually to determine whether the facility is complying with the rules and regulations of the state. Noncompliance in any area results in severe sanctions and financial penalties to the institution.
