• Read Chapter 18 in Alligood (2022). Johnson viewed health as efficient and effective functioning of the system, and as behavioral system balance and stability. Behavioral system balance and stability are demonstrated by observed behavior that is purposeful, orderly, and predictable. Consider a clinical practice situation that demonstrates Johnson's model of health. Describe the purposeful, orderly, and predictable behaviors that are utilized and how these behaviors contribute to establishing balance and stability.
• Read Chapter 21 in Alligood (2022). Every patient brings their own prior behavior and personal characteristics to a health encounter. In Nola Pender's Model, she describes 3 major categories: individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognitions and affect and behavioral outcome. How has Pender's model and view of health influenced your nursing practice? How does Pender's definition of health compare with other theorists' conceptualizations?
