Health Education Any combination of planned experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups, and communities the opportunity to acquire the information and skills needed to make quality health decisions is known as health education.This process involves several key components including the use of teaching- learning strategies.Which assessment technique will elicit the best information on the quality of life from individuals and families in a target population?

• Collect information on infant mortality.
• Involve the people in a self-study. Correct
• Analyze health care coverage statistics.
• Review the epidemiological data of the people.
• Involve the people in a self-study.

The nurse evaluates the quality of life in a population by analyzing their social, economic, communication, or spiritual patterns, concerns, and problems.Involving the people in a self-study of their needs and aspirations is the best way to accomplish this task. Relating a health problem to social problems helps the nurse and the clients expand the rationale or justification of the health education project. The nurse collects data by analyzing infant mortality rates, health care coverage, and the population's demographic information. These are assessment techniques used to collect demographic information in order to formulate the intervention plans for the population. Active involvement in a self-study secures participation in the interventions, leading to positive outcomes.

The communication of health information in a manner

which is clear and understandable is known as:

• empowerment.
• health literacy.
• health disparities.
• health education.
• health literacy. Correct

Health literacy is defined as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions" (Selden, Zorn, Ratzen, & Parker, 2000). Health literacy includes the ability to read, write, speak, listen, compute, and comprehend, and to apply those skills to health situations. Empowerment is a goal of health education where successful change is fostered in people to promote healthful changes. Health disparities are health differences that adversely affect socially disadvantaged groups. Health education is a process of teaching and learning that encompasses ensuring the understanding of the information delivered.A hospital creates a Facebook page for the bariatric surgery program. The owner of the site posts healthy recipes, lifestyle information, and information about

upcoming workshops. This is an example of:

• health literacy.
• coercive advertising.
• a teaching plan.
• social marketing.
• social marketing.

Social marketing is the use of technology to change behavior while targeting a specific group. When an organization wants to offer an ongoing health education program for a target population, social marketing provides a strategy for reaching members of the group and implementing a service that will satisfy these members as consumers. Principles of social marketing and health education strategies are combined to promote population-based changes in behavior to improve health.Social marketers create information in a manner that is appealing to the target audience and at a literacy level that is understandable. The teaching plan would be created after the planning for the seminar or courses are underway. This type of marketing would not be considered coercive because it is up to the individual to respond to the information.Nurses have a responsibility to ensure health literacy when providing health education. What are some strategies that nurses can use to promote health literacy?(select all that apply)

• Speak clearly and distinctly.
• Speak louder than usual.
• Use medical terminology.
• Face the person when speaking.
• Conclude with a summary of key points.
• Speak clearly and distinctly.
• Face the person when speaking.
• Conclude with a summary of key points.

The ability to communicate clearly with people from all literacy levels is an important component of patient-centered quality and safety in health education.The following strategies can have a significant impact on patient outcomes: speak clearly and distinctly, face the person when speaking, avoid the use of medical terminology, use plain language, and conclude with a summary of key points. It is not necessary to increase the volume of speaking, or change your tone when providing health education.What are some of the components of the health belief model that can assist nurses in determining the probability of an individual to make change? (select all that apply)

• External pressure to change
• The value of health as determined by significant others
• Perceived susceptibility to a health problem, disease,

or complications

• Perceived seriousness of disease
• Risk factors of disease attributed to heredity, race, or

culture

C, D, E

The health belief model is a paradigm used to predict and explain health behavior. It can assist the nurse in formulating an action plan that meets the needs and capabilities of the individual making health behavior changes. Nurses utilize the following guidelines to analyze the probability of a person making an

appropriate plan of action:

Individual perceptions or readiness for change The value of health to the individual compared with other aspects of living Perceived susceptibility to a health problem, disease, or complications Perceived seriousness of the disease level threatening the achievement of certain goals or aims Risk factors to a disease attributed to heredity, race or culture, medical history, or other causes Perceived benefits and barriers of health action

Which of the following statements accurately describe the five stages of health-related behavior change according to the Transtheoretical Model (TTM)? Select all that apply.

• Sustained change over time occurs in the

contemplation phase.

• When a person is considering the adoption of a

change within the next 6 months, she or he is said to be in the precontemplation phase.

• Small, sporadic changes occur in the planning phase,

as the individual is seriously thinking about making a change within the next month.

• In the action phase, the person has made behavior

change which has persisted for 30 days.

• Maintenance begins 6 months after the action has

started, and continues indefinitely.C, E The Transtheoretical Model (TTM), or the stages of change model, is useful for determining where a person is in relation to making a behavior change. The TTM proposes that behavior change progresses through 5 stages regardless of

whether the person is quitting or adopting a behavior. The five stages are:

Precontemplation: A person is not thinking about or considering quitting or

adopting a behavior change within the next 6 months (not intending to make changes).

Contemplation: A person is seriously considering making a specific behavior

change within the next 6 months (considering a change).

Planning or Preparation: A person who has made a behavior change is seriously

thinking about making a change within the next month (making small or sporadic changes).

Action: The person has made a behavior change and it has persisted for a period

of 6 months (actively engaged in behavior change).

Maintenance: The period beginning 6 months after action has started and

continuing indefinitely (sustaining the change over time) The nurse is assessing the extrinsic motivational levels of a patient following a knee replacement surgery. What behaviors would indicate that the patient is extrinsically

motivated? (Select all that apply):

• Agrees to take blood thinners as prescribed because

that is what the doctor has ordered.

• Verbalizes an understanding of taking blood thinners

postoperatively to reduce the risk of clotting.

• Knows that exercise and physical therapy will help

recovery to take place more quickly.

• Enjoys exercise and physical therapy and asks for

pamphlets to learn about rehabilitation techniques.

A, B, C

Rationale: Taking medication as prescribed, verbalizing an understanding of the

need for it, and exercising to promote healing show that the patient is extrinsically motivated. A patient that enjoys exercise and physical therapy and asks to learn more is intrinsically motivated.

The nurse is incorporating motivational factors into the plan of care for a patient who has recently been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and is in a skilled nursing facility. What interventions would the nurse

implement with this patient? (Select all that apply):

• Schedule a visit by another resident who has had

congestive heart failure.

• Review diet and food choices using the food pyramid

poster.

• Discuss the signs and symptoms of congestive heart

failure.

• Encourage the patient to have the family assist in

reaching the patient's health goals.

• Ask the patient about past experiences with lifestyle

changes.

• Encourage the patient to keep a food diary and record

weight losses and gains.

A, D, E, F

Strategies to increase motivation include talking to others with the same condition, involving others in the plan of care, drawing from previous successes, and challenging oneself by keeping a food record or diary. Reviewing diet and educating the patient about signs and symptoms of disease are both related to adherence.. Which of the following would be considered appropriate phrases for motivational cognitive theories?

(Select all that apply):

• Theory of achievement motivation.
• Positively or negatively motivated to achieve a goal

based upon one's perception of the ability or lack of ability to reach that goal.

• Five stages in the change process.
• Achievement, power, the need for affiliation, and

avoidance motives influence individual behavior.

• Satisfaction strategies provide extrinsic and intrinsic

reinforcement for effort.C, E The change process stages and satisfaction strategies are examples of motivational cognitive theories. The theory of achievement motivation, perception of the ability to reach a goal, and influences of individual behavior are examples of field theories.
