Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
When using a wellness perspective, the nurse focuses on the client's personal strengths and abilities to enhance health. An illness perspective does not include the positive attributes that the client possesses to address the problem. A physiologic perspective could also be considered an illness perspective. A psychosocial perspective would not take into account the physiologic alteration necessary for a successful weight loss program.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Based on the Health Belief Model, self-efficacy refers to the level of confidence an individual has about the ability to perform the activity. The client's statement that he/she intends to make a permanent change shows the highest-level determination and motivation. Stating that this attempt at quitting smoking will be different shows a low level of commitment to the action. Stating fear of getting lung cancer and referring to a family member with the disease represents internal cues to action, based on the Health Belief Model.
