Answer to Question 1

A
Health promotion begins with the mindset to shape a healthy lifestyle. It also includes the avoidance of unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Disease prevention or health-protection behaviors are those that protect people from the ill effects of actual or potential health threats. Wellness is the condition in which an individual functions at an optimal level.

Answer to Question 2

B
Health maintenance can be conceptualized by three characteristics: perception, motivation, and maintenance. Planning is not a characteristic of health maintenance. Perception is the ability of a patient to adopt and maintain healthy behaviors. Motivation is the internal drive that comes from within the patient to maintain a current level of health or achieve an optimal level of health. Maintenance is the ability to sustain the use of a new behavior.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
