1. Administration of the flu vaccine for infants from 6 to 23 months of age
2. Daily feeding schedules for infants
3. Instruction to adolescents on how to use dental floss
Rationale:
Administration of flu vaccines, feeding schedules, and instruction to adolescents on dental floss usage are all health promotion and/or maintenance topics. Treatment of an acute ear infection (otitis media) would not be a topic for health promotion and maintenance, since it 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.
