2. ANS: A The first component of the Health Belief Model (HBM) is an individual's perception of susceptibility, that he/she can actually acquire a given disease. Risk for a disease is often due to a family history or a genetic trait. The second component of the HBM is the perception of the severity of the disease, and the third is the likelihood the individual will take action.

ANS: D Screenings are typically indicated and recommended if the effort makes a substantial difference in morbidity and/or mortality of conditions, and they are safe, cost-effective, and accurate. Ideally a screening measure will accurately differentiate individuals who have a condition from those who do not have a condition 100% of the time; however, there may be a false-negative result, or the patient may develop a condition after the screening was conducted. A screening does not specify treatment guidelines; the screen provides results, and the healthcare provider identifies the treatment. The goal of screening is to identify individuals in an early state of a disease so that prompt treatment can be initiated. The screening results are used for this purpose.

The CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report does not cover all of the indicators, and it may be overly technical for the patient. The same holds true for the American Association of Hospitals home page. The American Cancer Society website would supply the consumer with information specific to cancers as opposed to the comprehensive health information found in the Healthy People 2020 document.
