Using the definition of health and an individual’s perception of their own health(Diabetic), how can you distinguish between a vulnerable

Health includes physical, mental, spiritual, social, and financial. Very seldom do people have high health in all these aspects at the same time. Many people will ignore one or more areas to improve their health in other aspects. To me, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of health is very subjective. A person could potentially feel that there is not a health concern, however, they are an unmanaged bi-polar individual. As most nurses know, a person who is not managing their mental health is not a healthy person, despite what their physical body may reveal. Health should not be a theory of a state of being. There are several potential implications in practice, policy, and services regarding the definition of health (Leonardi, 2018). Being that this definition was adopted roughly 70 years ago, it is due for a re-examination. At the time this definition was developed, it was groundbreaking and helped to advance medicine and healthcare practices. Our world has advanced since then and many held beliefs and concepts in health management have evolved to continue with the needs of people (Card, 2017).
