1. A nurse is teaching a group of older adults about the importance of receiving the influenza
vaccine annually. Which level of prevention is the nurse performing?
A. Secondary prevention
B. Tertiary prevention
C. Primary prevention
D. Quaternary prevention
Correct Answer: C
Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of disease through health promotion and
specific protections such as immunizations. By encouraging the influenza vaccine, the
nurse is acting to protect the population before any disease occurs. This level of prevention
is the most cost-effective method for managing community health outcomes.
2. A patient indicates that they have started to research gym memberships and plan to join
one within the next month. According to the Transtheoretical Model, which stage of change is
this patient in?
A. Precontemplation
B. Preparation
,C. Contemplation
D. Action
Correct Answer: B
The preparation stage involves the individual intending to take action in the immediate
future, usually defined as the next 30 days. Researching gym memberships shows that the
patient is making small behavioral steps toward a permanent change. This stage follows
contemplation, where the individual was only considering the change without taking active
steps.
3. Which component of the Health Belief Model describes a person’s belief about their risk of
developing a specific health condition?
A. Cues to action
B. Perceived severity
C. Perceived benefits
D. Perceived susceptibility
Correct Answer: D
Perceived susceptibility refers to an individual’s subjective assessment of their risk of
developing a health problem. This perception is a powerful motivator for engaging in
health-promoting behaviors to avoid the perceived threat. Understanding this component
helps nurses tailor education to address the specific fears or gaps in knowledge a patient
may have.
, 4. During a health assessment, the patient reports feeling ‘stressed and anxious’ due to a
recent job loss. In which of Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns would the nurse document
this information?
A. Coping-Stress Tolerance Pattern
B. Role-Relationship Pattern
C. Health Perception-Health Management Pattern
D. Value-Belief Pattern
Correct Answer: A
The Coping-Stress Tolerance Pattern focuses on the patient’s general coping patterns and
the effectiveness of their stress management. Job loss and the resulting anxiety are direct
indicators of how a patient is managing external stressors. Nurses use this pattern to
identify the need for support systems or mental health referrals.

activity is an example of which level of prevention?
A. Secondary prevention
