A nurse is discussing health promotion activities with parents of a 4-year-old client. What health-promotion activity is most appropriate for this family?
1. Make arrangements to tour the kindergarten in which the child will enroll next year.
2. Plan a "movie afternoon" with the child's big brother.
3. Maintain appropriate immunizations.
4. Teach the child the proper method for brushing the teeth.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Teaching proper oral hygiene through proper teeth brushing is a health-promotion activity. Touring the kindergarten might alleviate anxiety, but is not health promotion. A movie afternoon with the big brother is sedentary, and also not a health-promotion activity. Maintaining immunizations is a health-maintenance, not health-promotion, activity.
