A client tells the nurse that a group of friends have all decided to stop smoking. The group has planned a party at which they will each smoke their last cigarette.
According to Pender's model, how does the nurse interpret this information?
1. This group's plan sounds too frivolous to be successful.
2. Group actions generally are not as successful as individual efforts.
3. This party demonstrates a plan of action and is positive.
4. There is no connection between successful outcomes and planning.
Question 2
The client has a strong belief that he can successfully change his eating and exercise pattern in order to lose weight. Using Pender's Health-Promotion Model, how would the nurse document this belief?
1. As a positive activity-related affect.
2. As a perceived barrier to action.
3. As positive self-efficacy.
4. As good interpersonal influence.
