Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

When teaching a group, utilize strategies to address visual, auditory, manipulative, group, and problem-solving types of learners. Using different techniques and a variety of activities is a good way to match the various learning styles of group participants. Multicolored brochures would only address those learners who learn in the visual mode. Lecture may not meet the needs of the entire group. Games are a useful teaching tool, but not useful when addressing a large group of individuals with varying learning styles.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Teaching clients about recovery activities, such as exercises that accelerate recovery after a heart attack, would fall under the category of health restoration, not health promotion. Wellness is a process that engages in activities and behaviors that enhance quality of life and maximize personal potential. This involves individual and community activities to enhance healthy lifestyles, such as improving nutrition and physical fitness, preventing drug and alcohol misuse, restricting smoking, and preventing accidents in the home and workplace. The goal of illness prevention is to maintain optimal health by preventing disease, which would include immunization, prenatal and infant care, and prevention of sexually transmitted disease.
