well or ill, health is considered a relative term. Thus, illness is viewed as a state of being relatively
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
unhealthy. Health is typically described as a continuum that involves a range of degrees from optimal
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
health at one end to total disabilityor death at the other. The line of demarcation is not clear. Health
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
applies to individuals, families, and communities. Traditionally, most health care has focused on the
