The nurse is preparing a smoking cessation class and is amazed at how many people still smoke even with the information on lung cancer so readily available
She believes that her class will convert many smokers to nonsmokers once they get all the latest information. The nurse is a believer in which of the following health care models?
a. Health Belief Model
b. Health Promotion Model
c. Basic Human Needs Model
d. Holistic Health Model
ANS: A
The Health Belief Model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and behaviors. The Health Promotion Model is more complex than the Health Belief Model in that it notes that each person has unique personal characteristics and experiences that affect subsequent actions. The Basic Human Needs Model is based on the theory that all people share basic human needs, and the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor in determining a person's level of health. The Holistic Health Model recognizes the natural healing abilities of the body and incorporates complementary and alternative interventions such as music therapy. Education is important but is not the sole determinant of change.
