The clinic administrator has asked each nurse to classify the nursing activities as a beginning step of clinic reorganization. Which of these strategies can be identified as health promotion and health maintenance?
1. Administration of the flu vaccine for infants from 6 months to 23 months old.
2. Daily feeding schedules for infants.
3. Instruction to adolescents on how to use dental floss.
4. Treatment for a child with a diagnosis of acute otitis media.
Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Administering flu vaccines, discussion of feeding schedules, and instructions to adolescents are all health-promotion and/or health-maintenance topics. Treatment of an acute ear infection (otitis media) would not be a topic for health promotion and health maintenance since it is an acute illness.
