Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The Health Promotion Model views persons as multidimensional and in interaction with interpersonal and physical environments as they pursue health. The model can be used to make inferences about people's motivational and behavioral outcomes. The female who has a strong motivation and social support demonstrates the strongest likelihood of following through with the program. Variables such as low self-esteem, prior negative outcomes, and a lack of experience can reduce the individual's willingness to engage in the health-promoting activities.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Secondary prevention emphasizes early diagnosis and treatment of health problems, and includes screenings such as teaching clients about self-breast examination and mammography. Primary prevention has a focus geared toward health promotion and disease prevention, which is demonstrated by the discussion of dietary recommendations. Tertiary prevention is aimed toward treatment of a condition and restoration of health to the highest level of wellness possible. Treatment options for breast cancer such as a radical mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation would be considered forms of tertiary prevention.
