A client reluctantly came to the clinic only after his daughter insisted that he do so. The nurse finds that he has type 2 diabetes
When the nurse explains that he has a serious condition, the client brushes it off and says, "I can still work and provide for my family. I'm not sick." Which model of health has this client adopted?
A) Clinical model
B) Role performance model
C) Adaptive model
D) Eudaimonistic model
Ans: B
Feedback:
The role performance model holds that health involves a fit between people and social roles. For example, some people, even if they have symptoms of disease, would classify themselves as unhealthy only if they could not fulfill their roles in life, such as mother or worker. The clinical model of health focuses on the elimination of disease or symptoms. In the adaptive model, health involves adaptation to the environment. The eudaimonistic model of health holds that health is the actualization or realization of human potential.
