Client assessment provides the nurse with necessary information for the development of an ef-fective plan of care. When determining the influence of an internal variable on the client's health status, the nurse will specifically look for:
 
  1. Anxiety level present
  2. Family remedies used
  3. Location and type of occupation
  4. Available health insurance coverage

Question 2

A nurse understands that illness behavior means:
 
  1. Each distinct illness will cause the client to behave in a specific manner
  2. Nursing care provides interventions that are behavior oriented
  3. The client's behaviors will have a direct impact on his illness
  4. When ill, a client's perception of illness will result in unique behaviors

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Emotional factors, such as the client's degree of anxiety, is an internal variable that can influence the client's health status.
An example of an external variable that can influence the client's health status is the use of fami-ly remedies.
Socioeconomic factors, such as location and type of occupation, are external variables that can influence the client's health status.
Available health insurance coverage is an example of an external socioeconomic factor that can influence the client's health status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Medical sociologists call the reaction to illness, illness behavior. Nurses who understand how cli-ents react to illness can minimize the effects of illness and assist clients and their families in maintaining or returning to the highest level of functioning.
While the other options may be true, they do not define illness behavior.
