Nurses in the school setting can participate in health promotion activities through creating nut-
free schools. This would protect hypersensitive children from life-threatening allergic reactions
to peanuts and other nut products. This type of program is an example of which of the following
interventions?
A. Primary
B. Secondary
C. Tertiary
D. Emergent - ANS-A. Primary
Primary prevention interventions are considered health protection when they emphasize
shielding or defending the body (or the public) from specific causes of injury or disease. An
example is creating nut-free schools to protect hypersensitive children from life-threatening
allergic reactions to peanut and other nut products. Such initiatives have largely been the
result of grassroots parent organizations working with formal community organizations to
adopt policies that protect the health of these children. Nurses may be involved in the parent
organizations or the school or public health boards that review the proposed policies.
Secondary prevention ranges from providing screening activities and treating early stages of
disease to limiting disability by averting or delaying the consequences of advanced disease.
Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. Emergent
care is not associated with health promotion activities.
In addition to changes in ethnic and racial distribution within the population, it is expected that
changes in _______ distribution will affect health promotion practice.
,A. geographic
B. environmental
C. age
D. social - ANS-C. age
In addition to changes in the ethnic and racial distribution within the population, the
projected changes in age distribution will affect health promotion practice. Considerable
growth is expected in the proportion of the population that is 25 years of age and older.
Analysis of population trends and projections helps health professionals determine changing
needs. Additionally, analysis of the social and economic environment is necessary for
developing social policy concerning health. Geographic, environmental, and social aspects are
not expected means of impacting health promotional practices although social and
environmental concerns determine health outcomes.
Four distinct models have been used to describe concepts of health. Which of the following
statements accurately describes some of the models used? (select all that apply)
A. In the clinical health model, health and illness are defined by signs and symptoms of disease.
B. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to
perform social roles.
C. The clinical model is the basis for occupational health evaluations.
D. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and

roles.
D. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and
physiological change is the measure of their health.
E. In the eudaimonistic model, exuberant well-being indicates optimal health.
,The role performance model of health defines health in terms of individuals' ability to
perform social roles. Role performance includes work, family, and social roles, with
performance based on societal expectations. Illness would be the failure to perform roles at
the level of others in society. In the adaptive model of health, people's ability to adjust
positively to social, mental, and physiological change is the measure of their health. Illness
occurs when the person fails to adapt or becomes maladaptive to these changes. In the
eudaimonistic model, exuberant well-being indicates optimal health. This model emphasizes
the interactions between physical, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life and the
environment that contribute to goal attainment and create meaning. In the clinical model,
health is defined by the absence, and illness by the conspicuous presence, of signs and
symptoms of disease. The role performance model of health defines health in terms of
individuals' ability to perform social roles. This model is the basis for occupational health
evaluations.
