Answer 1

The correct interpretation of a holistic approach to medicine in the context of the physician's practice is:

They try to consider every aspect of the patient's health in their treatments.

A holistic approach means taking into account the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors of a patient's health rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or illnesses.
