3. Responsibility for health falls on the client rather than on healthcare professionals.

Correct Answer: 3
While interdisciplinary decisions are made and collaboration takes place, the basic belief is that the responsibility for health falls on the client rather than on the healthcare professional. Healthcare providers can offer ideas about what will meet a client's health needs; but in holistic, collaborative care, these are not necessarily the best ideas.
