Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Taking action includes the changes a person makes when he or she feels susceptible in terms of illness or disease. Maintaining lifestyle changes would indicate the patient perceives the seriousness of the threat, and has taken steps to mitigate the danger or prevent it from occurring.
2. Perceived seriousness is the degree of seriousness with which the patient treats the issue. While the patient perceives the seriousness, the seriousness is not resolved until the action is taken.
3. Perceived benefits are achieved when the action is taken to prevent the cardiac disease, but won't occur until the action is taken.
4. Maintaining lifestyle changes is a modifying factor. Modifying factors include race, gender, and other sociopsychological variables.
