There are two things that motivate individuals to participate in healthy behaviors. According to Pender, the first is "using behaviors towards increasing the level of
well-being and actualizing the health potential of individuals, families, communities, and society." The second is:
1. Reducing health risk by examining concepts of family risk to each individual
2. The desire to protect health using behaviors directed toward decreasing the probability of specific illness or dysfunction
3. Using the Neuman Systems Model to define family health in terms of systems stability
4. Realizing that health can be defined in many ways and within many cultures
ANS: 2
Understanding individual and family health behaviors requires looking at the concepts related to motivation and desire for good health.
