Answer to Question 1

(any five of the following):
Health status can be changed.
Health and disease are determined by dynamic interactions among biological, psychological, behavioral, and social factors.
Disease occurrence theories and principles can be understood.
Appropriate prevention strategies can be developed to deal with the identified health problems.
Behavior can be changed, and those changes can influence health.
Individual behavior, family interactions, community and workplace relationships and resources, and public policy all contribute to health and influence behavior change.
Initiating and maintaining a behavior change is difficult.
Individual responsibility should not be viewed as victim blaming, yet the importance of health behavior to health status must be understood.
For healthy behavior change to be permanent, an individual must be motivated and ready to change.

Answer to Question 2

The original model had an entry level, followed by three additional areas of responsibility for advanced levels. The new model is hierarchical, incorporating all competencies and sub-competencies within the same seven areas of responsibility. The new model also has three levels: Entry, Advanced I, and Advanced II, distinguished by degree and years of service.
