Question 1 of 5
An elderly resident in a long-term care facility developed diarrhea as a result of exposure to clostridium difficile during a recent outbreak. The resident's primary care provider has consequently prescribed the antibiotic metronidazole (Flagyl). Which model of health promotion and illness prevention is most clearly evident in these events?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The Agent-Host-Environment Model. This model emphasizes the interaction between an infectious agent (Clostridium difficile), a susceptible host (elderly resident), and the environment (long-term care facility). In this scenario, the presence of Clostridium difficile in the environment led to the resident becoming infected due to factors such as age and weakened immune system. Metronidazole is prescribed to treat the infection, targeting the agent. The Health Belief Model (
A) focuses on individual beliefs and perceptions influencing health behaviors, not the interaction of agent, host, and environment. The Health-Illness Continuum (
B) describes a range of health states, not the specific factors leading to infection. The Health Promotion Model (
D) focuses on promoting healthy behaviors, not the interaction of agent, host, and environment as seen in this case.
