In the Health Promotion Model, the patient is viewed as an active participant in managing their own health.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

Health Promotion Model emphasizes that individuals actively manage their health and engage in behaviors to improve well-being. People assess benefits and barriers, rely on self-efficacy, and are shaped by social and situational influences, taking responsibility for choices like exercise, nutrition, and preventive care. The nurse supports and facilitates these decisions, but the patient remains the primary actor in health behavior change. This makes the statement true, since the model frames patients as active participants in managing their health. The other options imply passivity or ambiguity and don’t align with how the model views health behavior.
