Public Health Theories of Behavior Change Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which scenario best demonstrates an example of eustress? An individual:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eustress refers to positive stress that motivates and enhances well-being. Preparing for a vacation with friends is a positive, exciting event that exemplifies eustress. Losing a pet and receiving a notice of insufficient funds are examples of distress, not eustress. The original text did not provide a rationale, so this is an added explanation based on the definition of eustress.
Question 2 of 5
A group begins the working phase. One member has a childhood history of neglect and ridicule by parents. Which comment would the group leader expect from this member?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: People who frequently complain, yet reject help or suggestions when offered, tend to have histories of severe deprivation as children, often accompanied by neglect or abuse. The other comments reflect dynamics other than the help-rejecting complainer, such as the monopolizer who apologizes for talking too much, the person who is insightful and agrees to try a peers suggestion, and the demoralizing member.
Question 3 of 5
A leader begins the discussion at the first meeting of a new group. Which comments should be included? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The leader must set ground rules for the group before members can effectively participate. Confidentiality of personal experiences should be maintained. Arriving on time is important to the group process. Talking to family members would jeopardize confidentiality. While groups are cost-effective, blaming the budget would not help members feel valued. Setting an expectation to share may be intimidating for a withdrawn patient.
