Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although it is easy to blame the patient for being noncompliant or neglecting himself or herself, or to blame the nurse for not educating the patient appropriately, it is equally plausible that the health care system is not meeting the client's perceived needs. Clients can have many reasons for not keeping an appointment, such as family emergencies, lack of funds, or lack of transportation. Sociocultural and ethnic barriers can also be factors. This is part of the health belief model where the premise is that the world of the perceiver determines the action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although all responses are accurate, the primary problem is the emphasis on personal choices in the Healthy People 2020 objectives. Emphasis on personal choices ignores the need for community responsibility and action that addresses environmental or cultural restraints to health.
