DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) OBJ: Compare and contrast the three levels of prevention. TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance 9. Which statement indicates the patient’s perception of susceptibility to illness as described by the Health Belief Model? a. “I am never going to get lung cancer so I refuse to stop smoking.” b. “Cancer is no big deal with all of the new treatments available now.” c. “I have been smoking for so many years that I will never be able to quit.” d. “I cannot afford the nicotine patches so I might as well keep on smoking.” NURSINGTB.COM Essentials for Nursing Practice 9th Edition Potter Test Bank NU RS IN GT B.CO M ANS: A The first component of the Health Belief Model involves the patient’s assessment of susceptibility to illness. 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 uses seaside purification rituals to ease arthritis pain. b. The patient refuses to take blood pressure medicine due to the side effects. c. 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.

TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance 12. Which statement by the nurse will help the patient progress to the preparation stage for smoking cessation? a. “You will die of emphysema or lung cancer if you do not stop smoking.” b. “Research has shown that smoking causes emphysema and lung cancer.” NURSINGTB.COM Essentials for Nursing Practice 9th Edition Potter Test Bank NU RS IN GT B.CO M c. “The physician will give you nicotine patches to help you start to quit smoking.” d. “You need to avoid people who smoke so you will not be tempted to start again.” ANS: C Providing nicotine patches will help the patient to prepare to quit smoking. 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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) OBJ: Discuss the health belief, health promotion, basic human needs, and holistic health models of health and illness and their relationship to patients’ attitudes toward health and health practices. TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance 13. Which is an example of a Healthy People 2020 goal? a.

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. DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) OBJ: Discuss the nurse’s role in caring for people, communities, and populations in various states of health and illness.

The nurse plans daily care to allow for rest periods for the patient as needed. d. The nurse reorients the patient to time and place during periods of acute confusion. ANS: B The widowed patient can help to achieve Maslow’s need for love and belongingness by joining a bereavement support group. Use of a gait belt for ambulation meets the patient’s basic physiological needs. Reorientation of a confused patient and allowing for rest periods do not facilitate the patient to achieve the feeling of belonging in a group.
