A, B, C, and E are correct because they all involve proactive measures to promote and maintain health. Introducing a client to the benefits of regular exercise, discussing the importance of maintaining blood glucose levels within a normal range, referring a client for blood pressure screening, and explaining the effects of overwhelming stress on health are all strategies that encourage clients to take an active role in their health maintenance and prevention of disease. Option D suggests using medical care only in acute emergencies and relying on alternative treatments otherwise, which may not always be appropriate for promoting and maintaining health.
