Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Just because the treatment was found on the Internet and/or it is based upon alternative medicine strategies, it is not necessarily invalid. The treatment may be based in science, but further investigation should be done into its validity before trusting the treatment modality. There is no requirement that information has to be researched or validated prior to adding it to the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Personal factors in Pender's model include biologic, psychologic, sociocultural, cognitions, affect, and health behaviors. Education level is described as sociocultural. Biologic factors include such factors as age, gender, and familial disease risk. Psychologic factors include such characteristics as self-esteem, self-motivation, and perceptions of health status. Affect is also a psychologic factor.
