Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale 1: Health promotion activities include those items that increase well-being and overall health.
Rationale 2: Health promotion activities include those items that increase well-being and overall health.
Rationale 3: Teaching about exercise following a stroke focuses on rehabilitation, not health promotion.
Rationale 4: Health promotion activities include those items that increase well-being and overall health.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Health promotion is behavior motivated by the desire to increase well-being and actualize human health potential.
Rationale 2: Health protection or illness prevention is behavior motivated by a desire to actively avoid illness, detect it early, or maintain functioning within the constraints of illness. Expressing a desire to quit smoking would be modeling this behavior. The information we are given does not tell us if the client has pathology or not, but the client certainly has been exposed to a health hazard.
Rationale 3: Tertiary prevention measures focus on restoration and rehabilitationit is not a behavior.
Rationale 4: Primary prevention measures focus on health promotion it is not a behavior.
