A nurse is teaching nursing students about the importance of health promotion among older adults. Which of the following statements by a student indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "Teaching older adults how to live with diabetes would be a useful health promotion initiative."
B) "I can see why we would want to promote timely discharge back to the community following hospitalization."
C) "I think that attending to spiritual growth could likely be a part of health promotion."
D) "If we could promote healthy, simple diets, then some diseases could likely be prevented."
Ans: B
Discharge planning is not a core component of health promotion. Health promotion denotes interventions or programs that focus on behavior changes that can improve health and well-being. Teaching older adults how to live with a particular disease, fostering spiritual growth, and promoting good nutrition are all components of health promotion.
