MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which model of health is most likely used by a person whaobidrbo.ceosmn/teostt 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.

a. Clinical model

b. Role performance model

c. Adaptive model

 

d. Eudaimonistic model

ANS: D

The eudaimonistic model embodies the interaction and interrelationships among physical, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects of life and the eanbivrbi.rcoomn/mtesetnt 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.

3. Halbert Dunn (1961) introduced the concept of high level awbierbl.lcnoems/tse,sta health-illness continuum which factored in the individual’s environment when determining a level of health. Which of the following statements is correct concerning his model?

a. Care recipients who are terminal or dying could not beabcilrba.scsoimf/iteesdt as having high-level wellness.

b. The focus is on environment and the ability to achieve health on a personal and societal level.

c. It provides a view of health which is in opposition to thabeirbe.ucodma/itemstonistic model of health.

d. It is most closely aligned with a clinical model of health.

 

ANS: B

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dunn’s construct of high level wellness assesses a person’s wellness not only from the perspective of his relative health but also factors in his environment—favorable or unfavorable—to arrive at a more comprehensive determinaabtiirob.ncoomf/tersetlative wellness. With this concept in mind, a person who is dying can be said to have achieved high-level wellness via emotionally preparing for death and/or supporting others toward this end. His concept defines health on both personal and societal levels. This model is similar to the eudaimonistic model of health which factors in physical, social, psychological, aabnirdb.csopmir/tietsutal aspects as well as influences from the environment in defining health. For these reasons, choices A, C, and D would all be incorrect.

5. Which of the following best describes a care recipient 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 havaebairbd.ciosme/atesset  without feeling ill. The other choices represent disease.

b. It is a more modern term used interchangeably with primary prevention.

c. It is a health-promotion strategy which reflects policy-albeivrbe.cloimn/tteesrtventions.

d. It refers administering vaccines to prevent individuals from developing the disease.

ANS: C

Primordial prevention is a fairly new concept which has beabeinrb.acodmd/etedstto the more traditional modalities of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primordial refers to the time frame before a risk factor develops and before disease occurs. Primordial prevention reflects

policy-level interventions which will serve to prevent diseaabsierb..cSoumc/thespt  revention is typically implemented at the “national, state, or community” levels. Examples of primordial prevention would be state regulations which mandate healthy food for school-based lunch programs or regulations which call for the elimination of trans fats in commercial foods. By contrast, primary prevention are those interventions which are direcatbeirdb.caotmt/hteestindividual in the interest of preventing disease. Vaccinating an individual against disease would be an example of primary prevention as would be education and interventions (exercise, low fat, avoiding excess salt) aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease befaobirrbe.ciotmo/tcecsturs.

9. Which of the following represents a method of primary preabvirebn.ctoimo/nte?st

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 adbiirsbe.caosme/,tebstut instead identifies it.

d. Complete mastectomy for breast cancer

ANS: B

 

 

 

Screening is secondary prevention because the principal gaobairlbo.cfoms/ctersetenings 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.

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 objectaivbierb.ocofmte/tertsitary prevention is to maximize remaining capacities.
