Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, F
Fear and threat are not aspects of Pender's model. Although fear may cause an initial attempt at change, fear is not a long-term motivator for ongoing action. Pender does include perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy, interpersonal influences, and available situational (environmental) options as factors that motivate persons to engage in health actions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, F
As the text remarks, it is interesting to note that the paradigm for nursing education and practice did not incorporate her emphasis on statistics and a sound research base. It is also curious why her writing on health's social and environmental determinants was not consulted until much later.
