Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, F
A major problem with this model is that the burden for taking action is totally with the client. The model requires health professionals to assume responsibility for modifying the client's perceptions so they recognize the need to act. Although the line between persuading and educating is a fine one, nurses are responsible for education. Persuasion may border on coercion. Further, the model assumes that all responsibility is personal, ignoring barriers in the health care system, which may make it difficult for an individual to take appropriate action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Nightingale focused on the aggregate of British soldiers and used graphically depicted statistics and other data to demonstrate effectiveness of her interventions, which allowed her to become a political advocate on behalf of the soldiers. Nightingales' beauty and personality, influence among nurses, and wealth were not tools used to create change.
