Examples: a. The toddler just learning to walk is prone to fail and injure himself. b. The young woman who has a family history of breast cancer and diabetes and therefore is at a higher risk to develop these conditions. EMOTIONAL DIMENSION How the mind and body interact to affect body function and to respond to body conditions also influences health.

Using relaxation techniques, a young woman reduces her pain during the delivery of her baby. INTELLECTUAL DIMENSION The intellectual dimension encompasses cognitive abilities, educational background and past experiences. These influence a clients responses to teaching about health and reactions to health care during illness. They also play a major role in health behaviors.

Examples: a. The adolescent who sees nothing wrong with smoking or drinking because his parents smoke and drink. b. The person of Asian descent who uses herbal remedies and acupuncture to treat an illness. SPIRITUAL DIMENSION Spiritual and religious beliefs are important components of the way the person behaves in health and illness.

Examples: a. Roman Catholics require baptism for both live births and stillborn babies. b. Jehovah Witnesses are opposed to blood transfusions.

State in which a persons physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is diminished or impaired with previous experience. ILLNESS AND DISEASE ILLNESS AND DISEASE
