respond to interpersonal dynamics. Stages: oral gratification/first anxiety,
delayed gratification, formation of peer relationships, same sex friendships,
opposite sex relationships, self-identity development
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - accurate answers-survival, safety/security,
love, self-esteem, self-actualization
Health Belief Model - accurate answers-barriers to health promotion:
perception of susceptibility, seriousness of illness, perceived benefits of
treatment, barriers to change, expectations of efficacy

a result of cognitive and environmental factors, learned through
observation/role-modeling, efficacy predicts change/maintenance

nursing
Frontal lobe - accurate answers-Frontal lobe: motor function, premotor area,
association cortex (decision-making), executive functions (memory,
reasoning, planning, prioritizing, insight, flexibility, judgment, impulse control,
intelligence, abstraction), language (expressive), personality
Temporal lobe - accurate answers-receptive language, memory, emotion,
integration of vision/sensory info (damage results in A/V hallucination,
aphasia, amnesia)
