  1. A nurse is utilizing a disease-oriented approach when providing care to a client. Which of the following interventions will the nurse most likely provide?
a. Promotion of a greater level of positive health
b. Education about common disease processes
c. Acute care management of chronic disease
d. Education about medication compliance

 

 

ANS:   D

A disease-oriented approach assumes that humans are composed of organ systems and cells; in this instance, health care focuses on identifying what is not working properly with a given system and repairing it. In this context, health behavior begins with patient compliance with health professionals’ recommendations. This approach does not promote a greater level of positive health as this would be related to health promotion. This approach does not provide education about common disease processes or acute care management of chronic disease.
