MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which model of health most suits a person who does not believe in preventive health
care?
a. Clinical model
b. Role Performance model
c. Adaptive model
d. Eudaimonistic model
ANS: A
The clinical model of health views the absence of signs and symptoms of disease as
indicative of health. People who use this model wait until they are very sick to seek care.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: 5
2. A person with chronic back pain is cared for by her primary care provider. She is also
very interested in alternative forms of therapy and has therefore scheduled an
appointment with an acupuncturist. Which model of health does this person likely favor?
a. Clinical model
b. Role Performance model
c. Adaptive model
d. Eudaimonistic model
ANS: D
,The eudaimonistic model embodies the interaction and interrelationships between physical,
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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 5-6
3. A state of physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes a person's
potential and is experienced within a developmental context is known as:
a. Growth and development
b. Health
c. Functioning
d. High-level wellness
ANS: B
Health is defined as a state of physical, mental, spiritual, and social functioning that realizes
a person's potential and is experienced within a developmental context.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: 7
4. Which represents a person with an illness?
a. A well-controlled diabetic
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: Synthesis REF: 7
5. Which U.S. 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 2010
c. Healthy People 2010: A Midcourse Review
d. The U.S. Surgeon General Report
ANS: A
Healthy People 2000, the 1990 Healthy Objectives for the Nation: A Midcourse Review, and the
1995 revisions were landmark documents in that a consortium of people representing
national organizations worked with U.S. Public Health Service officials to create a more
global approach to health.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: 8
6. Which represents a method of primary prevention?
a. The Go Red Heart Campaign
b. A blood pressure screening
c. An interventional cardiac catheterization
d. A diagnostic cardiac catheterization
ANS: A
, Primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction. It includes health promotion and
specific protection and encourages increased awareness, thus the Go Red Heart Campaign is
a healthy heart awareness campaign. Blood pressure screening does not prevent disease
but instead identifies it.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 14
7. Which represents a method of secondary prevention?
a. Self-breast-examination education for high school girls
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: Application REF: 18
8. Which represents a method of tertiary prevention?
a. 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
