Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The healthillness continua is often used to measure a person's perceived level of wellness in which health and illness are at opposite ends of a health continuum.
Rationale 2: The eudemonistic model incorporates a comprehensive view of health, where health is seen as a condition of actualization or realization of a person's potential.
Rationale 3: In the adaptive model, health is seen as a creative process and disease is seen as a failure in adaptation or maladaptation.
Rationale 4: The narrowest interpretation of health occurs in the clinical model, where people are viewed as physiologic systems with related functions and health is defined by the absence of signs and symptoms of disease or injury.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4, 5

Rationale: Developmental stage theories allow nurses to describe typical behaviors of an individual within a certain age group, explain the significance of those behaviors, predict behaviors that might occur in a given situation, and provide a rationale to control behavioral manifestations. Implementing seizure precautions is not an activity that uses developmental stages.
