The population health nurse is preparing material for a group of community members about health promotion. What should the nurse state that health promotion involves?
1. Education about healthy behavior, which leads to behavioral change.
2. Behavior manipulation through transfer of knowledge.
3. Informing the client about the nature and causes of illness.
4. Enabling clients and promoting community action.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Health promotion enables clients, empowers them, and promotes community action. Knowledge of healthy behavior does not lead to behavioral change. Health promotion rejects manipulation of behavior but focuses on increasing one's capacity to act rather than be acted upon. Health education includes informing the client about the nature and causes of illness.
