Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Health literacy is the extent to which an individual is able to obtain, process, and understand health-related information in order to make informed decisions about health issues. Reading, explaining writing, and interpreting health information will not necessarily enhance health. Understanding and acting on health instructions will not necessarily enhance health.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Social marketing is a process designed to change negative behaviors or maintain positive ones for the benefit of the individual and the society. Empowerment focuses on the environmental conditions that affect people's abilities to act in ways that promote health. Health education provides the information and skills that are part of the strategies of empowerment and social marketing. Manipulation is not a health promotion strategy.
