Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The role performance model holds that health involves a fit between people and social roles. For example, some people, even if they have symptoms of disease, would classify themselves as unhealthy only if they could not fulfill their roles in life, such as mother or worker. The clinical model of health focuses on the elimination of disease or symptoms. In the adaptive model, health involves adaptation to the environment. The eudaimonistic model of health holds that health is the actualization or realization of human potential.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
HIV protection and treatment, as well as plans for emergency preparedness, are paramount if workers are to feel safe in their environments. Migration is a human right, so lobbying for antimigration legislation would not be appropriate. Because the facility is losing its native healthcare workers, not gaining expatriate workers from other nations, encouraging the facility to build workforce capacity in the nurse's own country, and treating expatriate workers with dignity would not address the problem.
