1. A health status report indicates many people are not using the health department because of long waits.
2. The WHO encourages all travelers to be up to date on the immunizations of the country they are going to.
3. A nurse wishes to initiate a health education program for older adults with di-abetes, so the health status of this group is assessed.
4. Agencies use a television advertisement to encourage healthy eating by the community citizens.
