Which statement correctly lists the core components of the ICF model?

• A. Health condition
• B. Body functions/structure
• C. Health condition; Body functions/structure; Activity; Participation; Environmental factors; Personal factors
• D. Environmental factors; Personal factors

Answer: (C)

This item tests the six components of the ICF model. In the ICF, health condition names the disease or health problem; body functions and structures cover the physiological and anatomical parts; activities are the tasks a person can perform; participation refers to involvement in life situations; environmental factors include the surroundings and social attitudes that can help or hinder functioning; personal factors encompass the individual’s background and other characteristics not part of the health condition. A statement that lists all six—health condition; body functions/structures; activity; participation; environmental factors; personal factors—captures the full framework, making it the best choice. The other options leave out one or more components, so they don’t represent the complete model.
