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.
