Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although pregnancy is not specifically addressed, the text stresses that only those susceptible to a particular condition should be considered in the denominator. In the case of pregnancy, only women of childbearing age are susceptible.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Pender's HPM is a competence or approach-oriented model and, unlike the HBM, does not rely on personal threat as a motivating factor. Both attempt to explain behavior, based on individual perceptions, and both include self-efficacy as a factor. (Although the HBM did not originally have this concept, it was added in the revised model.)
