1. Which model of health is most likely used by a person who
does not believe in preventive health care?
a. Clinical model
b. Role performance model
c. Adaptive model
d. Eudaimonistic model

acupuncture. Which model of health does this person likely favor?

social, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life and the environment in goal attainment and
creating meaning in life. Practitioners who practice the clinical model may not be enough for
someone who believes in the eudaimonistic model. Those who believe in the eudaimonistic
model often look for alternative providers of care.

4. Which of the following best describes a client who has an illness?
a. Someone who has well-controlled diabetes
b. Someone with hypercholesterolemia
c. Someone with a headache
d. Someone with coronary artery disease without angina
ANS: C
Someone with a headache represents a person with an illness. An illness is made up of the
subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be
described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person‘s needs and the
resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
other choices represent disease.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: p. 6
5. Which US report is considered a landmark document in creating a global approach to health?
a. The 1990 Health Objectives for the Nation: A Midcourse Review
b. Healthy People 2020
c. Healthy People 2000

DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember (Knowledge) REF: p. 6
6. Which of the following represents a method of primary prevention?
a. Informational session about healthy lifestyles
b. Blood pressure screening
, c. Interventional cardiac catheterization
d. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization
ANS: A
Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. It includes health promotion and specific
protection and encourages increased awareness; thus, education about healthy lifestyles fits
this definition. Blood pressure screening does not prevent disease, but instead identifies it.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 11
7. Which of the following represents a method of secondary prevention?
a. Self–breast examination education
b. Yearly mammograms
c. Chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer
d. Complete mastectomy for breast cancer
ANS: B
Screening is secondary prevention because the principal goal of screenings is to identify
individuals in an early, detectable stage of the disease process. A mammogram is a screening
tool for breast cancer and thus is considered a method of secondary prevention.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 15
8. Which of the following represents a method of tertiary prevention?
a. Drunk driving campaign
b. Road blocks for drunk driving
c. Emergency surgery for head trauma after a motor vehicle accident
d. Physical and occupational therapy after a motor vehicle accident with head trauma
ANS: D
Physical therapy and occupational therapy are considered tertiary prevention. Tertiary
prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. It involves
minimizing the effect of disease and disability. The objective of tertiary prevention is to
maximize remaining capacities.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 15
9. In reviewing a person‘s medical claims, a nurse realizes that the individual with moderate
persistent asthma has had several emergency department visits and is not on inhaled steroids

a. advocate.
b. care manager.
c. consultant.
d. educator.
ANS: B
Care managers act to prevent duplication of service and reduce cost. Care managers base
recommendation on reliable data sources such as evidence-based practices and protocols.
