The nurse is using the premise that attitudes to a health-related behavior reflect a person's attitudes to the expected consequences of the behavior. The nurse is using the:
1. Theory of Reasoned Action model.
2. Pender Health Promotion model.
3. Precaution Adoption Process model.
4. Health Belief model.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The Theory of Reasoned Action model is based on two premises. The first premise is that attitudes to a health-related behavior reflect a person's attitudes to the expected consequences; the second premise is that attitudes are the product of subjective norms influenced by others. Pender's Health Promotion model directs nursing interventions for health promotion. Pender's model describes behavior being influenced by attitudes and behavior-specific cognitions and affect that result in a commitment to action. The Precaution Adoption Process model describes the stages that occur in decisions to adopt or not adopt a health-related behavior. The Health Belief model includes individual perceptions of susceptibility and seriousness, modifying factors, perceptions of benefits and barriers to actions, and cues to action.
