Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
The holistic health belief view is based on the spiritual belief systems of many cultures and holds that the forces of nature must be maintained in balance or harmony. Human life is one aspect of nature that must be in harmony with the rest of nature. When one's natural balance or harmony is disturbed, illness results. In the magico-religious health belief view, health and illness are controlled by supernatural forces; the patient may believe that illness if the result of "being bad."
