What is the essential difference between the nursing prevention model and the medical prevention model?

Question

a. The medical model targets universal populations; the nursing model targets a selective population.
b. The medical model assumes that all people are at equal risk; the nursing model attempts to identify those who are more vulnerable.
c. The medical model attempts to identify the most likely cause of the disease; the nursing model stresses that mental disorders are multicausal.
d. The medical model offers a continuum of nonspecific preventive measures; the nursing model offers one specific, tested, preventive measure.

Answer 1

C
The primary difference is the medical model's attempt to identify a single cause of a disease; the nursing model assumes that mental disorders result from the interplay of several risk and protective factors.
