Answer to Question 1

A
Health promotion begins with the mindset to shape a healthy lifestyle. It also includes the avoidance of unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Disease prevention or health-protection behaviors are those that protect people from the ill effects of actual or potential health threats. Wellness is the condition in which an individual functions at an optimal level.

Answer to Question 2

B
Health maintenance can be conceptualized by three characteristics: perception, motivation, and maintenance. Planning is not a characteristic of health maintenance. Perception is the ability of a patient to adopt and maintain healthy behaviors. Motivation is the internal drive that comes from within the patient to maintain a current level of health or achieve an optimal level of health. Maintenance is the ability to sustain the use of a new behavior.
