Cognitive and Emotional Development — Unit test

Question 1 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Why do practitioners have a better chance of providing effective care if they practice holistic care?

Answer

Patients come from many backgrounds, so treatment is more effective if a practitioner knows a patient’s cultural beliefs.

Physical illnesses are often tied to diet and exercise, so it is more effective to treat patients with natural therapies than with medications.

Health is physical, so it is more effective to focus on a patient’s physical symptoms and not spend time concerned about other types of problems.

Physical illnesses are often tied to mental, emotional, and social health, so it is more effective to treat the whole person than to treat only physical signs and symptoms.

Explanation

Holistic care considers a person’s physical health along with mental, emotional, and social well-being. These areas can affect one another, so treating the whole person may address factors connected to an illness rather than focusing only on its physical signs and symptoms. Choice D states this principle; choice B is too narrow because holistic care does not mean replacing medications with natural therapies.
