Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Survey methods were being used to study health problems. The medical topographies illustrated geographic factors related to regional health and disease. They were able to demonstrate environmental factors related to regional disease. They did not address the safety of wells, housing areas, or the isolation of disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The theory of planned behavior stresses that perceived control is a major factor in whether or not the client performs the behavior. Thus, the nurse needs to understand the client's beliefs about factors that may facilitate or impede the behaviors. Using this theory, the environment is not considered as a major factor in client change, nor is the analysis as to if the behavior is the most effective approach.
