Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The client system is multidimensional with nursing and health care targeting the multiple levels of clients. When the individual is the client, the environment includes the family, the broader ag-gregate, and the community of which the individual is a part. The nurse and health care provider are concerned with how these environments affect the individuals' health. The focus for care is on health promotion, illness prevention, and illness care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A disease-oriented approach assumes that humans are composed of organ systems and cells; in this instance, health care focuses on identifying what is not working properly with a given system and repairing it. In this context, health behavior begins with patient compliance with health pro-fessionals' recommendations. This approach does not promote a greater level of positive health as this would be related to health promotion. This approach does not provide education about common disease processes or acute care management of chronic disease.
