Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Chronic illness encompasses many different physical and mental alterations in health. Chronic illnesses usually have a slow onset and many periods of remission (disease is present, but there are no symptoms) and exacerbation (symptoms of the disease reappear). COPD is not terminal (although there is no cure) and it is not contagious.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Health promotion encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle and to achieve a high level of wellness. Discussing the importance of STD prevention to a group of 12th-grade students is the best example of a health-promotion teaching project. This makes the other options incorrect.
