The factors that determine or influence whether disease or other unhealthy results occur are called health risks. The major categories of risk include inherited biological risk, social and physical environmental risk, and behavioral risk. All the other options are treatment oriented rather than risk avoidance. Exercising for 30 minutes a day reduces the risk for many diseases.

| a. | “Did any of the hunters in your family kill a deer this year?” |
| b. | “How do you keep your rifles safe from curious children?” |
| c. | “Where do you shoot with your handguns?” |
| d. | “Where do you keep your rifles locked when it is not hunting season?” |
ANS: C
Risk reduction is a complex process that requires knowledge of risks and families’ perceptions of the nature of the risk. In this situation the nurse was asking questions to determine the family’s perception of risks associated with owning guns. If the family does not perceive the behavior (having guns in the house) as risky, but rather as necessary for food or sport, the nurse must first educate or persuade the family that others may be more comfortable if certain precautionary measures are taken (such as locks on the guns). Rifles are used for food and sport but handguns are often used in crimes and accidents resulting in death.
