One of the roles of the community health nurse is to educate about health promotion and wellness. Which activity would the nurse dismiss as not being relevant to health promotion and wellness?
A) Holding classes on prevention of sexually transmitted infections for teenagers
B) Teaching a class about smoking cessation
C) Initiating infant care classes for new parents
D) Implementing an exercise class for clients who have had a heart attack
Answer: D
Teaching clients about recovery activities, such as exercises that accelerate recovery after a heart attack, would fall under the category of health restoration, not health promotion. Wellness is a process that engages in activities and behaviors that enhance quality of life and maximize personal potential. This involves individual and community activities to enhance healthy lifestyles, such as improving nutrition and physical fitness, preventing drug and alcohol misuse, restricting smoking, and preventing accidents in the home and workplace. The goal of illness prevention is to maintain optimal health by preventing disease, which would include immunization, prenatal and infant care, and prevention of sexually transmitted disease.
