What type of care is focused on the development of the whole self?

  1. Hepatitis A

  2. Hereditary

  3. Holistic care

  4. Hip prosthesis

The correct answer is: Holistic care

Holistic care is a comprehensive approach to health and wellness that emphasizes the importance of treating the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on specific symptoms or illnesses. This type of care considers various dimensions of a person's life, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. In holistic care, practitioners aim to understand how these elements interact and influence overall health to provide personalized treatment that promotes well-being in all areas of a person's life. The other options do not pertain to the concept of holistic care. Hepatitis A refers to a viral infection affecting the liver, while hereditary pertains to genetic characteristics passed down through family lines. A hip prosthesis is a medical device used to replace a hip joint and does not encompass the broader, integrative approach that holistic care embodies.
