Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Primary health promotion and illness prevention are directed toward promoting health and preventing the development of disease processes or injury. Nursing activities at the primary level may focus on individuals or groups. Examples are immunization clinics, family planning services, providing poison-control information, counseling about obesity and smoking cessation, and accident-prevention education. Conducting a high blood pressure screening and providing family counseling are secondary level preventive measures. Rehabilitation and career counseling fall under the tertiary level of preventive care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
The health belief model (Rosenstock, 1974) is concerned with what people perceive, or believe, to be true about themselves in relation to their health. This model is based on three components of individual perceptions of threat of a disease: (1) perceived susceptibility to a disease, (2) perceived seriousness of a disease, and (3) perceived benefits of action.
