ANS: A
Maslow's hierarchy of needs describes the relationships between the basic requirements for survival and the desires that drive personal growth and development. The model is most often presented as a pyramid consisting of five levels. The lowest level is related to physiologic needs, and the uppermost level is associated with self-actualization needs, specifically those related to purpose and identity. The Health Belief Model was developed by psychologists Hochbaum, Rosenstock, and Kegels. It explores how patients' attitudes and beliefs predict health behavior. The Health Promotion Model, developed by Pender and colleagues, defines health as a positive, dynamic state of well-being rather than the absence of disease in the physiologic state. Holistic health models in nursing care are based on the philosophy that a synergistic relationship exists between the body and the environment. Holistic care is an approach to applying healing therapies. Holistic models focus on the interrelatedness of body and mind.
