Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It can assist with planning programs to increase an individual's motivation to take positive health action. This theory was one of the first theories of health behavior, which began in the 1950s. The model contains six components that attempt to determine what motivates an individual to adopt a health behavior. There is nothing to support that the use of this model will reduce the incidence of diseases and disabilities. It focuses on motivation of changing health behaviors, not partici-pating in screening programs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The National Prevention Strategy offers recommendations on what can be done to improve pop-ulation health in specified contexts and across goal areas. This document does not assist in inter-preting Healthy People 2020, providing a basis for public health nursing practice, or providing health risk appraisal instruments.
