2. Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control outlining plans to manage outbreaks of disease, eradicating the use of toxins.
3. Resources available to treat chronic pain.
4. Class listings for exercise classes available in the community.
Correct Answer: 4
The focus of health care in the United States today is wellness, prevention of disease, health promotion, and health maintenance, for which a listing of exercise classes is appropriate. Symptom management, illness care, and pain management are addressed by the health care delivery system but are not the primary focus, as clients are taking a more active role in managing their own care. Management of outbreaks of disease is a function of governmental organizations and health care providers in the community, but is not a focus of individual care.
