Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Health promotion also emphasizes personal responsibility for health and self-care actions to achieve high-level wellness. Health is defined as the ability to function at the highest capacity despite the presence of age-related changes and risk factors. Environmental modifications are health promotion activities when they reduce risks or improve a person's level of functioning. Health promotion programs currently include both the traditional focus on disease prevention and health maintenance and on personal responsibility for health self-care actions to achieve high-level wellness.

Ans: C
Each of these is a possible source of data, but the Healthy People initiative is a well-known program that is a major source of recommendations for evidence-based health promotion interventions.
