Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Health is more than just the absence of illness; it is an active process in which a person moves toward his or her maximum potential. It also has different definitions for different people. It is not stagnant, but changes frequently.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
The modifiable risk factors related to this client's heart attack include stress, alcohol intake, and smoking. These are things that a person can change. The others are nonmodifiable, as the client cannot change his age, family history, or sex.
