Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A community health assessment must include information about the subsystems and interactions of the total community with the systems external to it. This model does not address the resources available to promote health, physical environment, or demographics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The HBM can assist with planning programs to increase an individual's motivation to take posi-tive health action. The model contains six components that attempt to determine what motivates an individual to adopt a health behavior. Conducting a group risk appraisal and risk reduction, completing a community wellness inventory, and considering legislative changes do not address an individual's motivation to adopt a health behavior.
