Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

People who believe their health is largely controlled by outside forces and is beyond their control have an external locus of control and may need assistance to become more internally controlled if behavior changes are to be successful. People who believe that they have a major influence on their own health status are internally controlled; that is, they have an internal locus of control. The health belief model (HBM), developed by Rosenstock provides a framework for understanding why people do not adopt disease prevention strategies or participate in screening tests for the early detection of disease. Pender's health promotion model focuses on health-promoting behaviors rather than health-protecting or preventive behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Kneller's framework describes five kinds of knowledge: (1) revealed knowledge that is disclosed by God; (2) intuitive knowledge that comes from a process of discovery nurtured by experience; (3) rational knowledge that uses principles of formal logic; (4) empirical knowledge that is tested by observation or experiment; and (5) authoritative knowledge that is vouched for by authorities in the field.
