A nurse reviewed information before meeting with the community residents who were attending a program on healthful living. Which of the following best describes the action by the nurse?

a. Disease prevention
b. Health promotion
c. Health improvement
d. Specific protection

ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
Health promotion is any combination of health education and related support for health behaviors. It is not specific protection or disease prevention because no specific disease is being avoided. Although healthful living may indeed improve health, there is nothing to suggest the attendees were not currently healthy.
