Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Health promotion enables clients, empowers them, and promotes community action. Knowledge of healthy behavior does not lead to behavioral change. Health promotion rejects manipulation of behavior but focuses on increasing one's capacity to act rather than be acted upon. Health education includes informing the client about the nature and causes of illness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Resource mobilization is the extent in which the community able to mobilize both internal and external resources. For the community experiencing a tornado, calling other communities for help and establishing emergency housing indicate an effective resource mobilization domain. Leadership development is determined by the extent that local leaders are able to foster community participation, facilitate problem resolution, and resolve conflict. Problem assessment capacity is determined by the extent that the community is able to identify community problems and possible solutions. Participation is determined by the extent that community members have increased their participation in small groups and organizations designed to take action on community problems.
