2. Schedule scoliosis screening for all female students aged 12 through 16.
3. Examine the quality of repairs made to the school pool after a recent landslide.
4. Ensure safety equipment is available for all student use during sports activities.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Health promotion entails activities designed to foster a healthy lifestyle and develop a state of good health in the population. This includes advocacy for access to healthy foods, designed to foster good nutrition as a health promoting strategy. The resolution level of health care is eliminating an existing health problem. At this level, a health problem has already occurred and population health nursing interventions are directed toward its solution and preventing further serious consequences. An example of this would be screening for scoliosis. Restoration, or rehabilitation, involves activities designed to assist the client's or population's return to a prior state of good health and functional ability. Rebuilding damaged buildings and highways would constitute restoration. An example of this would be examining the quality of pool repairs made after a recent landslide. Prevention involves strategies aimed at preventing the occurrence of specific health problems such as safety equipment for sports activities.
