Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Health risk appraisal/wellness assessment programs are used to apprise individuals of the risk factors that are inherent in their lives in order to motivate them to reduce specific risks and develop positive health habits. Environmental control programs have been developed in response to environmental hazards. Information dissemination makes use of a variety of media to offer information to the public about the risk of particular lifestyle choices. Lifestyle- and behavior-change programs require the participation of the individual and are geared toward enhancing the quality of life and extending the life span.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The elements of proof for nursing malpractice are: 1. a duty of the nurse to the client to provide care and follow an acceptable standard; 2. a breach of the duty on the part of the nurse; 3. foreseeability or the remembering that if the nurse fails in the duty an injury may occur; 4. an injury to the client; and 5. a causal relationship between the breach of the duty and the client's subsequent injury.
