The third level on the hierarchy is love and belongingness, which is a desire to belong to groups. The fourth level deals with the need for self-esteem.

Primary prevention aimed at health promotion includes health education programs, immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities. Taking blood pressure medication every day is a secondary prevention because the patient is trying to prevent further complications. Physical therapy after a cerebrovascular accident and using a cane for ambulation are considered tertiary prevention as they prevent further complications.

An example of this is the patient who denies the risk of lung cancer due to smoking. The second component of the Health Belief Model is the perception of the seriousness of the illness. An example of this is the patient who believes that cancer is no big deal. The third component of the Health Belief Model is the likelihood that the patient will take corrective action. An example of this is the patient who sees no need to quit smoking. The Health Promotion Model includes the readiness for the patient to change. In this case, the patient has no intention to quit smoking.

The patient has annual mammograms to screen for breast cancer. d. The patient avoids eating red meat due to a family history of heart disease. ANS: A Cultural background influences a person’s beliefs, values, and customs. It influences personal health practices. An example of this is the patient’s use of seaside purification rituals to ease arthritis pain. The patient’s preventative screening tests and refusal to take medications due to side effects are not due to cultural influences. Family history is separate from cultural influence.

Threatening the patient with death and reminding the patient of the health risks due to smoking are not helpful. Encouraging the patient to avoid smokers to avoid temptation to start smoking again indicates that the patient is in the maintenance or action stage already.

ANS: A Healthy People 2020 includes 600 objectives written in 42 topic areas to provide direction for health care efforts on an individual, community, and national level. Eliminating differences in care for women and men with suspected heart attack is an example of a Healthy People 2020 goal. Identifying stressors and organizing mammograms are examples of interventions. Healthy People 2020 focuses on health promotion and protection at the community level rather than recovery of the individual patient after acute illness.
