Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nonnormative life events are unpredictable; loss of a job is an unpredictable event. Adoption of a child, marriage of a child, and retirement from work are events that can be planned and antici-pated, which are considered to be normative life events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Understanding individual and family health behaviors requires looking at the concepts related to motivation and desire for good health. Pender uses Pender's Health Promotion Model to discuss two major factors that motivate individuals to participate in positive health behaviors. One is a desire to promote one's own health and the second is a desire to protect one's health.
