Answer to Question 1

2,3,5
Rationale 1: Health-promotion activities are those that assist the client to maintain wellness and achieve a healthy lifestyle. Flu shots and identification of risk factors are preventive interventions.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale 1: Nightingale's major concept of nursing and health involves environmental factors such as cleanliness, reduction of noise, and light as they relate to the needs of the whole client (answer options 1, 3, and 5). Option 2 refers to Orem's theory of addressing the client by means of identifying the client's self-care deficits. Option 4 reflects Neuman's theory of wellness; all parts of a person are in harmony.
