Many of today's leading causes of death can be linked to lifestyle choices (excluding factors of gender or race). Unchangeable factors affecting health are genetics and human biology.

Answer to Question 2

C
The prevention health care team consists of the client, nurses, and primary physicians. The client is at the center of the prevention health care team, as the person who has the ultimate responsibility for heath care; the client must knowingly incorporate preventive health practices into her or his daily life. Nurses, particularly those with advanced practice skills such as nurse practitioners, are often responsible for initial client screening in various health care settings; they can be effective teachers and role models of preventive health and health promotion activities.
