1. Planning a menu that includes large portions of an assortment of foods from each of the food groups.
2. Decreasing the number of cigarettes smoked from 3 packs per day to 1.5 packs per day.

4. Walking at a pace of 3 to 4.5 mph for 15 minutes 3 times per week.

Rationale 1: Menu planning should include appropriate rather than large portions of food from each of the food groups in order to practice good nutrition as a wellness concept.
Rationale 2: Decreasing the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day from 3 to 1.5 will not significantly lower the health risks of smoking; therefore, this action does not demonstrate the wellness concepts of responsibility and good decision-making skills in regards to health care issues.
Rationale 3: Wellness concepts are demonstrated through individuals being responsible and able to make good decisions regarding areas such as nutrition, physical activity, safety issues, stress management, emotional growth and well-being, and health care issues in general. Sexual abstinence or use of a condom during sexual intercourse demonstrates responsibility and good decision-making skills in regards to sexual and reproductive health.
Rationale 4: Walking at a pace of 3 to 4.5 mph is considered moderate physical activity; walking this pace for 15 minutes 3 times per week does not meet the CDC recommended 2 hours and 30 minutes per week for moderate physical activity; therefore, this action does not demonstrate the wellness concepts of responsibility and good decision-making skills in regards to health care issues.
