Question 1

Health

Answer 1

state of complete mental, physical, and social well-being

NOT just the absence of disease

Also includes the motivation to become engaged in life, a sense of control over one’s actions, and a desire to interact and connect with others, and also engaged in individual self-esteem

Question 2

Function

Answer 2

ability to fulfill a purpose, or occupation

Function is not inherent in a given disease or health condition- it’s based on your own ability to want to overcome that certain disease

Example in book about person w/ low back pain- one person accommodates to their work place, and the other becomes sedentary - so functional status of each person is NOT because of low back pain

Question 3

Disablement
