What is the meaning of being "free from disease" in medical terms?

  1. Breaking bones

  2. Being unsteady or uncoordinated

  3. Administering food by tube

  4. Not having a disease

The correct answer is: Not having a disease

Being "free from disease" in medical terms refers to the state of not having any illness or medical condition that could affect a person's health. It implies that an individual is in good health without any detectable diseases or infections. This term is commonly used in health assessments and screenings to evaluate a person's overall well-being. The other choices refer to various medical conditions or procedures that do not relate to the absence of disease. For instance, breaking bones indicates an injury or a specific health issue, being unsteady or uncoordinated points to a potential problem with balance or neurological function, and administering food by tube is a medical intervention often used for patients who cannot swallow. These options showcase different health scenarios rather than the state of being free from disease.
