When educating clients in the community on health promotion and prevention of disease, it is important to stress:
A) strenuous exercise is necessary for health.
B) health education can benefit individuals and groups.
C) the ideal location for education is in a health care institution.
D) health promotion may not be possible for many of the older members of a community.
Ans: B
Feedback:
An axiom of health promotion and disease prevention is the fact that health education is highly beneficial. These benefits are not the same for everyone, but everyone can benefit from some sort of health promotion, including older clients. Strenuous exercise is not appropriate for everyone. Education does not always need to happen in a formal healthcare setting.
