Answer to Question 1

A
Never use the record for complaining, finger-pointing, or commenting on other nonpatient care issues. Only information relevant to patient care belongs in the record.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Health Belief Model will help the nurse to understand the behavior. Health beliefs influence health behavior. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs will not help the nurse to understand the behavior. The definition of health by the WHO will not help the nurse to understand the behavior. Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect is permanent.
