long, healthy lives. There are four overarching goals: (1) attain

injury, and premature death; (2) achieve health equity, eliminate
disparities, and improve the health of all groups; (3) create social
and physical environments that promote good health for all; and (4)

across all life stages.

A nurse is following the goals of Healthy People 2020 to provide
care. Which action should the nurse take?
a) Allow people to continue current behaviors to reduce the stress
of change.
b) Focus only on health changes that will lead to better local
communities.
c) Create social and physical environments that promote good health.
d) Focus on illness treatment to provide fast recuperation.
b) Providing care that involves the whole person
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a "state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity." Therefore, nurses' attitudes toward health and
illness should consider the total person, as well as the environment in
which the person lives. All people free of disease are not necessarily
healthy. Strictly personal and a focus only on pathological states do not
correlate to WHO's definition.
Answer:
A nurse is using the World Health Organization definition of
health to provide care. Which area will the nurse focus on while
providing care?
a) Focusing on helping patients be disease free
b) Providing care that involves the whole person
c) Assuring that care is strictly personal in nature
d) Directing focus only on the pathological state
a) Health belief model
The health belief model addresses the relationship between a person's
beliefs and behaviors. The holistic health model recognizes the natural
healing abilities of the body and incorporates complementary and
alternative interventions such as music therapy. The health promotion
model focuses on the following three areas: (1) individual characteristics
and experiences, (2) behavior-specific knowledge and affect, and (3)
behavioral outcomes, in which the patient commits to or changes a
behavior. Maslow's' hierarchy of needs is based on the theory that all
Pretest - Stuvia US

people share basic human needs, and the extent to which basic needs are
met is a major factor in determining a person's level of health.
Answer:
The nurse is preparing a smoking cessation class for family
members of patients with lung cancer. The nurse believes that the
class will convert many smokers to nonsmokers once they realize the
benefits of not smoking. Which health care model is the nurse
following?
a) Health belief model
b) Holistic health model
c) Health promotion model
d) Maslow's hierarchy of needs
b) Not eating
According to Maslow, in all cases an emergent physiological need takes
precedence over a higher-level need. Nutrition is a physiological need and
should be addressed first. Anxiety, mental health, and not seeing family
members are all higher-level needs.
Answer:
A nurse is using Maslow's hierarchy to prioritize care for an
anxious patient that is not eating and will not see family members.
Which area should the nurse address first?
a) Anxiety
b) Not eating
c) Mental health
d) Not seeing family members
b) Holistic health model
The holistic health model recognizes the natural healing abilities of the
body and incorporates complementary and alternative interventions such
as music therapy. The health belief model addresses the relationship
between a person's beliefs and behaviors. The health promotion model
notes that each person has unique personal characteristics and
experiences that affect subsequent actions. The basic human needs model
believes that the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor in

determining a person's level of health. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a
model that nurses use to understand the interrelationships of basic
human needs.

relieved by the last dose of pain medication. The patient is not due

and sets the television to the channel playing that type of music.
Which health care model is the nurse using?
a) Health belief model
b) Holistic health model
c) Health promotion model
d) Maslow's hierarchy of needs
a) Perception of functioning
Internal variables include a person's developmental stage, intellectual
background, perception of functioning, and emotional and spiritual
factors. External variables influencing a person's health beliefs and
practices include family practices, socioeconomic factors, and cultural
background.
Answer:
A nurse is assessing internal variables that are affecting the
patient's health status. Which area should the nurse assess?
a) Perception of functioning
b) Socioeconomic factors
c) Cultural background
d) Family practices
b) A person's compliance is affected by economic status.
A person's compliance with treatment is affected by economic status. A
person tends to give a higher priority to food and shelter than to costly
drugs or treatments. External variables can have a major impact on
compliance. Employment status is an external variable, not an internal
variable. A person generally seeks approval and support from social
