What do the mortality and morbidity rates represent in the community-as-partner model?
A) Degree of reaction
B) People
C) Flexible line of defense
D) Normal line of defense
Ans: A
The degree of reaction is dependent on stressors and the lines of resistance. Whether the stressor (a disease process) is present and the lines of resistance (how well the person or community can resist the disease) will determine how widespread and how dangerous a disease could become (the degree of reaction). The core of the assessment wheel represents the people who make up the community. The flexible line of defense is a dynamic level of health resulting from the temporary response to stress. Normal line of defense is the level of health the community has reached over time.
