HEALTH PROMOTION THROUGHOUT THE LIFE
SPAN QUESTIONS AND WELL VERIFIED
ANSWERS
The client who would be least likely to participate in health teaching activities
would choose which model?
A. Adaptive Model
B. Clinical Model
C. Eudaemonistic Model
D. Role Performance Model - ANSWER>>B. Clinical Model
The clinical model of health has the absence of signs and symptoms of disease as
indicative of health. People who use this model of health to guide their use of
health care services may not seek preventative health services, or they may wait
until they are very ill to seek care. Personal responsibility for health may not be a
motivating factor for this individual because the provider is responsible for
dealing with the health problem and returning the person to a state of health.
Attempts at health-promoting activities may not be effective with this person.
The role performance model has the ability to perform social roles as indicative of
health. This model is the basis for work and school physical examinations and
physician-excused absences. The adaptive model of health has the ability to adapt
positively to social, mental, and physiological changes indicative of health. The
eudaimonistic model of health uses exuberant well-being as indicative of health.
This model is also more congruent with integrative modes of therapy.
The nurse is teaching about primary prevention and includes which educational
statement in the instructions?
A. Everyone should participate in colorectal cancer screening.
B. Health teaching about the risk factors of heart disease should be performed.
,C. Limiting disability is a vital role of nursing since preventive measures are
therapeutic.
D. The nurse is involved in minimizing the effects of disease and disability by
surveillance and maintenance. - ANSWER>>B. Health teaching about the risk
factors of heart disease should be performed.
Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. Primary prevention
intervention includes health promotion, such as health teaching about risk factors
for heart disease, and specific protection, such as immunization against hepatitis
B. Its purpose is to decrease the vulnerability of the individual or population to
disease or dysfunction. People are taught to use appropriate primary preventive
measures. Screening is secondary prevention because the principle goal is to
identify individuals in an early, detectable stage of the disease process. Delayed
recognition of disease results in the need to limit future disability in late
secondary prevention. Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is
permanent and irreversible. The process is minimizing the effects the disease and
disability by surveillance and maintenance activities aimed at preventing
complications and deterioration.
The nurse assesses a community for evidence of health-promotion strategies.
Identify all of the health-promotion strategies. Select all that apply.
A. Seeking primary care in the acute care hospital
B. Self-care for minor illness
C. Entry into acute care facilities to manage chronic illness
D. Environmental changes to enhance clean air
E. Supporting Habitat for Humanity house construction - ANSWER>>B. Self-care
for minor illness
D. Environmental changes to enhance clean air
E. Supporting Habitat for Humanity house construction
Health-promotion strategies go beyond providing information. It is proactive
decision making at all levels of society. Strategies identified within this decision-
making process are screening, self-care for minor illness, readiness for
, emergencies, successful management of chronic illness, environmental changes
to enhance positive behaviors, and health-enhancing policies within an
organizational setting. Health-promotion efforts focus on maintaining or
improving the general health of individuals, families, and communities through
support of housing at the public and community level; and at the personal level
by voting and volunteering for improved low-income housing.
Public health nurses are involved in supporting active health promotion strategies
such as:
A. Supporting clean water
B. Advocating for vitamin D in all milk
C. Supporting sanitary sewage systems
D. Participating in an individual daily exercise program - ANSWER>>D.
Participating in an individual daily exercise program
Health-promotion strategies are either active or passive. Passive strategies
involve the individual as an inactive participant or recipient. Examples of passive
strategies include public health efforts to maintain clean water and sanitary
sewage systems, and efforts to introduce vitamin D in all milk to ensure that
children will not be at risk for rickets when there is little sunlight. Active strategies
depend on the individual becoming personally involved in adopting a proposed
program of health promotion. Examples of lifestyle changes are daily exercise as
part of a physical fitness plan and a stress-management program as part of daily
living.
Which model of health most suits a person who does not believe in preventive
health care?
A. Clinical model
B. Role Performance model
C. Adaptive model
D. Eudaimonistic model - ANSWER>>A. Clinical model
