The Health Promotion Model is being used by a nurse to analyze the potential impact of the importance of regular exercise
According to the model, which participant is most likely to initiate and consistently participate in a successful program of exercise after attending the session?
1. An overweight female who has never participated in an exercise program.
2. A 30-year-old male who admits frequently joining and quitting exercise groups.
3. A teenaged male who has low self-esteem.
4. A 24-year-old female who reports she is anxious to begin exercising with her husband.
Correct Answer: 4
The Health Promotion Model views persons as "multidimensional and in interaction with interpersonal and physical environments as they pursue health." The model can be used to make inferences about people's motivational and behavioral outcomes. The female who has a strong motivation and social support demonstrates the strongest likelihood of following through with the program. Variables such as low self-esteem, prior negative outcomes, and a lack of experience can reduce the individual's willingness to engage in the health-promoting activities.
