Answer to Question 1

B
Health and illness are complex concepts. Health is more than just the absence of illness or disease. Nursing models allow nurses to understand and predict patients' behaviors, use of health services, participation in therapy, and care for themselves. Risk factors are part of a patient's health beliefs and health practices.

Answer to Question 2

A
The objectives of Healthy People 2010 focus on interventions designed to reduce or eliminate illness, disability, and premature death or on broader issues such as improving availability and distribution of health-related information. In the Healthy People 2010 model, individual biology and individual behavior influence health through their interaction with each other and with a person's social and physical environments.
