Select all that apply.
A) Helping a mother determine a daily feeding schedule for her infant
B) Teaching a school-age child how to use dental floss
C) Teaching parents how to perform pulmonary drainage and cupping on their ill child.
D) Treating a child diagnosed with pneumonia
E) Administering the flu vaccine for an infant who is 9 months of age
Answer: A, B, E
Administration of flu vaccines, feeding schedules, and instruction to adolescents on dental floss usage are all health promotion and/or maintenance topics. Treatment of pneumonia would not be a topic for health promotion and maintenance, as pneumonia is an acute illness. Teaching parents how to perform pulmonary drainage and cupping on their ill child is not considered health promotion and maintenance, as it is treating an acute illness.
