SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Cognitive learning style.
Answer: The general way people prefer to have information
presented in order to problem solve, process, learn, and remember
new information.
Encompasses popular learning styles, e.g., visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic.
◉ Psychomotor learning style.
Answer: Development of organized patterns of muscular activities
guided by signals from the environment. Behavioural examples
include driving a car and eye-hand coordination tasks such as
sewing, throwing a ball, typing, operating a lathe, and playing a
trombone.
◉ Affective learning style.
Answer: How learners feel while they are learning, as well as with
how learning experiences are internalized so they can guide the
learner's attitudes, opinions, and behaviour in the future.
,◉ Transtheoretical Model of Change.
Answer: Stages that individuals move through in the adoption of
healthy behaviors or cessation of unhealthy ones.
Stages of change:
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance
◉ Precontemplation stage.
Answer: In this stage, people do not intend to take action in the
foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6 months). People are
often unaware that their behavior is problematic or produces
negative consequences. People in this stage often underestimate the
pros of changing behavior and place too much emphasis on the cons
of changing behavior.
◉ Contemplation stage.
Answer: In this stage, people are intending to start the healthy
behavior in the foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6
months). People recognize that their behavior may be problematic,
,and a more thoughtful and practical consideration of the pros and
cons of changing the behavior takes place, with equal emphasis
placed on both. Even with this recognition, people may still feel
ambivalent toward changing their behavior.
◉ Planning (determination/preparation).
Answer: In this stage, people are ready to take action within the next
30 days. People start to take small steps toward the behavior change,
and they believe changing their behavior can lead to a healthier life.
◉ Action.
Answer: In this stage, people have recently changed their behavior
(defined as within the last 6 months) and intend to keep moving
forward with that behavior change. People may exhibit this by
modifying their problem behavior or acquiring new healthy
behaviors.
◉ Maintaining.
Answer: In this stage, people have sustained their behavior change
for a while (defined as more than 6 months) and intend to maintain
the behavior change going forward. People in this stage work to
prevent relapse to earlier stages.
◉ Two-spirit.
, Answer: Refers to a person who has both a masculine and a feminine
spirit, and is used by some First Nations people to describe their
sexual, gender and/or spiritual identity.
◉ Mental Health.
Answer: "A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or
her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his
or her community" - World Health Organization (WHO).
◉ Goals of mental health promotion.
Answer: - Enhance resilience and protective factors.
- Reduce risk factors.
- Reduce inequities.
- Reduce the incidence and severity of diagnosed mental illnesses
and the impact on individuals and families.
- Creation of healthcare, economic, environmental, and social
policies which have a positive effect on the determinants of health.
◉ Errors in health.
Answer: Errors e.g., medication, surgical, diagnostic, nursing, etc.
which makes patients feel unsafe.
