Fairly easy

A patient says that transport costs and fear of injury make regular walking difficult, although the patient believes exercise is beneficial. In Pender's health promotion model, these concerns are examples of what?

Correct answer: B. Perceived barriers to action

  • A. Perceived benefits of action
  • B. Perceived barriers to action
  • C. Interpersonal influences
  • D. Activity-related affect

Explanation

Perceived barriers are anticipated obstacles, such as cost, lack of transport or fear of harm, that reduce the likelihood of health-promoting behaviour. Believing that exercise is beneficial represents perceived benefits, not barriers.
