Select all that apply.
A) Emergency first responder personnel

C) Individuals who provide mental health services

Answer: B, C, E
Wellness promotion is an essential aspect of family health and focuses on increasing healthy behaviors and optimizing lifestyle choices. Educating clients and facilitating appropriate referrals to nutritionists and community service providers will not only improve the family's quality of life, but also reduce the risk of illness. Depending on the needs of the client, nurses may collaborate with a variety of healthcare providers and professionals, including physicians, counselors, social workers, and mental health specialists. Ambulance first responders and law enforcement personnel will not necessarily support the goal of the wellness program.
