Answer to Question 1

A
These developmental concepts describe positive or negative influences on health-seeking beha-viors or compliance with a health promotion plan of care. For example, a 40-year-old man may be working to provide for a growing family and plan for a future retirement. Health promotion may be on his mind, but he may be caught up in self-imposed time constraints that may make it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and he may not perceive that he has the time or energy to take up the task of self-health promotion.

Answer to Question 2

B
Cultural influences on health are most obviously observed in the form of dietary habits. For ex-ample, as a whole, Americans consume a higher degree of fat and empty calories in their diets than other cultures. As a result, a large percentage of the American population develops negative health consequences, such as peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
