Answer to Question 1

B
Disease and injury prevention include illness prevention (chlorinated water, immunizations) and support groups.
These are not examples of health promotion. Health promotion services include anti-smoking services, advocacy for healthy public policy, and provision of wellness services.
These are not examples of supportive care. Supportive care describes services provided over a prolonged period to people who are disabled, who have never been able to function inde-pendently, or who have a terminal disease.
These are not examples of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, such as physiotherapy, involves restoring a person to optimal health.
