Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B
Casual observations at the school have revealed a high percentage of overweight children, youngsters easily fatigued while running around the playground, and children choosing nonnutritious snacks. These children are at risk for overweight and obesity. Therefore, the health promotion program should emphasize nutritious snacks and physical activity. Children are at risk for tobacco use, addiction, unintentional injury, and back pain from improper backpack posture; however, those topics would be best addressed in other community education programs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Healthy People 2010 identified two broad goals: eliminate health disparities and increase quality and years of healthy life. Healthy People 2020 identifies four overarching goals: eliminate preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and promote healthy development and healthy behaviors across every stage of life. Promoting healthy development and healthy behaviors across every stage of life apply to the development and focus of the workshop on health promotion. The school community is an ideal center for health promotion activities.
