Section 1: Health & Wellness Models (Q1–Q10)
Q1. A nurse is assessing a patient who has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The patient
states, "I don't see any reason to check my blood sugar because I feel fine." According to the Health
Belief Model, this patient lacks which component?
A. Perceived susceptibility
B. Perceived benefits of action [CORRECT]
C. Cues to action
D. Perceived severity
Rationale:
Correct — The patient explicitly states they see no reason (benefit) to monitoring, indicating a lack of
perceived benefits of action.
Distractor A: Perceived susceptibility refers to feeling at risk; the patient acknowledges the diagnosis but
not the value of action.
Distractor C: Cues to action are external triggers (e.g., provider advice, media); the barrier here is
internal valuation.
Distractor D: Perceived severity involves believing the condition is serious; the patient may believe it is
serious but still sees no benefit in monitoring.
Exam tip: Listen for the patient's stated "reason" or "point" — that signals perceived benefits, not
susceptibility.
Q2. A nursing student is creating a care plan for a homeless veteran with PTSD, malnutrition, and
chronic pain. Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as applied to nursing priority setting, which need
should the nurse address first?
,A. Encourage attendance at a PTSD support group to improve self-esteem
B. Facilitate connection with a spiritual counselor for meaning and purpose
C. Arrange for a safe shelter and warm meals tonight [CORRECT]
D. Discuss long-term career goals to achieve self-actualization
Rationale:
Correct — Physiological needs (shelter, food, warmth) and safety are foundational; Maslow's hierarchy
prioritizes lower-level needs before higher-level ones.
Distractor A: Self-esteem needs are important but cannot be prioritized when basic physiological and
safety needs are unmet.
Distractor B: Spiritual needs and self-transcendence are higher-level and addressed after stability is
achieved.
Distractor D: Self-actualization is the highest level and inappropriate when survival needs are
threatened.
Exam tip: On NCLEX, always ask "What will kill or harm the patient first?" — physiological and safety
always win.
Q3. A community health nurse is developing a program to reduce childhood obesity in a low-income
neighborhood. The nurse targets the built environment (sidewalks, parks, grocery stores) and family
meal patterns. This approach best reflects which model?
A. Health Belief Model
B. Pender's Health Promotion Model [CORRECT]
C. Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
D. Precaution Adoption Process Model
Rationale:
Correct — Pender's model emphasizes multidimensional influences on health-promoting behavior,
including environmental, situational, and family factors, rather than just individual perceptions.
Distractor A: The Health Belief Model focuses on individual perceptions of threat and benefits, not
community infrastructure.
Distractor C: The Transtheoretical Model describes readiness to change stages, not environmental
determinants.
Distractor D: The Precaution Adoption Process focuses on awareness and decision-making about specific
hazards, not broad health promotion.
Exam tip: When you see "environment," "family," and "community" together as active targets, think
Pender.
, Q4. A 45-year-old patient tells the nurse, "I know smoking causes lung cancer, but my grandfather
smoked until 90 and never got sick. I don't think it will happen to me." This statement reflects a
breakdown in which Health Belief Model construct?
A. Perceived severity
B. Perceived susceptibility [CORRECT]
C. Self-efficacy
D. Cues to action
Rationale:
Correct — The patient minimizes personal vulnerability using an anecdotal exception, demonstrating
low perceived susceptibility despite knowledge of risk.
Distractor A: The patient acknowledges lung cancer is severe ("causes lung cancer"), so perceived
severity is intact.
Distractor C: Self-efficacy is confidence in one's ability to act; the barrier here is belief the action is
unnecessary, not inability.
Distractor D: Cues to action are external prompts; the patient is internally dismissing risk, not ignoring a
trigger.
Exam tip: "It won't happen to me" = perceived susceptibility. "It's not that bad" = perceived severity.
Q5. A nurse is caring for a patient who practices daily meditation, eats a plant-based diet, maintains
strong social connections, and seeks annual preventive screenings. According to the concept of holistic
health, which statement by the nurse is most accurate?
A. "Your approach focuses too much on spiritual wellness and neglects physical health."
B. "You are integrating physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of wellness." [CORRECT]
C. "True holistic health requires avoiding all Western medical interventions."
D. "Your diet and exercise cover wellness; the meditation is unnecessary."
Rationale:
Correct — Holistic health recognizes the interconnection of physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and
intellectual dimensions; this patient demonstrates integration across multiple domains.
Distractor A: Misunderstands holistic health by artificially separating spirituality from physical wellness;
they are interdependent.
Distractor C: Holistic health does not reject conventional medicine; it integrates all valid approaches.
Distractor D: Reduces holistic health to only diet and exercise, ignoring emotional and spiritual
components.
Exam tip: Holistic = whole person (body + mind + spirit + social + environment). If an option excludes any
dimension, it's wrong.
