Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Health Belief Model suggests that individuals are more likely to engage in health-promoting behaviors, such as screenings, if they perceive themselves to be at risk. A client with a family history of breast cancer (mother and grandmother) would likely perceive a higher personal risk for breast cancer, making them more likely to engage in screening activities.
