The community client highlights the complexity of the change process. Change for the community client must often occur at several levels because:
 
  1. Health problems caused by lifestyle cannot be solved by simply asking individuals to choose health-promoting habits.
  2. Most individuals can change their habits alone.
  3. Aggregates are responsible for social change.
  4. Geographic areas often have health risks that the nurse must identify.

Question 2

The process of assessing the presence of specific factors within each of the categories that have been identified as being associated with an increased likelihood of an illness, such as cancer, or an unhealthy event, such as an automobile accident,
 
  is called: 1. Health risk reduction
  2. Health risk appraisal
  3. Health risk factors
  4. Health events
