| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Long-held negative views of disabilities are being replaced with new and more positive approaches that view individuals and their challenges from a more holistic standpoint. Thus, a disability is something that a person has, not something one is. Even persons with the same disability but their plan of care can be quite different. Earlier terminology equated disability with an inability or incapacity or handicap that presents a more negative view of the condition. | ||

| In Healthy People 2020, the emphasis of the categories of objectives that relate to the goal of “Disability and Health to promote the health and well-being of people with disabilities” is a growing emphasis on a holistic approach that recognizes life satisfaction is just as important to health and well-being as preventative services. It also indicates a growing realization that healthy life years for persons with disabilities equate to decreased costs at local, state, and national levels, just as they do for persons without disabilities. There is not a focus on personal responsibility for healthy lifestyle by persons with disabilities or a concept that persons with disabilities are always dependent on others. | ||

| The three areas that Healthy People has identified for public health action for the year 2020 using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health include improve the conditions of life for persons with disabilities; address the inequitable distribution of resources among people with disabilities and those without disabilities; and expand the knowledge base and raise awareness about determinants of health for people with disabilities. The plan to ensure the health of people with disabilities by influencing many social and physical factors is too broad. Public health activities need to focus only on preventing disability is a misconception. | ||
