The World Health Organization (WHO) deӄnes health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being, not merely the absence of disease or inӄrmity.” 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 deӄnition.

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
ANS: A
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-speciӄc knowledge and aӄect, 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 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.
DIF:Analyze (analysis)REF:66
OBJ: Discuss the health belief, health promotion, basic human needs, and holistic health models to understand
the relationship between patients’ attitudes toward health and health practices.
