Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Holistic Health Model recognizes the natural healing abilities of the body and incorporates complementary and alternative interventions such as music therapy. The Health Belief Model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and behaviors. The Health Promotion Model notes that each person has unique personal characteristics and experiences that affect subsequent actions. The Basic Human Needs Model believes that the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor in determining a person's level of health. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a model that nurses use to understand the interrelationships of basic human needs.

Internal variables include a person's developmental stage, intellectual background, perception of functioning, and emotional and spiritual factors. External variables influencing a person's health beliefs and practices include family practices, socioeconomic factors, and cultural background.
