Allowing a 14-year-old child to make her own decisions led to the nurse's conclusion that unhealthy characteristics existed within this family. The nurse should engage in health protective behaviors as well as health promotion behaviors. Health protective behaviors take a person away from a dangerous situation or from a dangerous habit. Health promotion behaviors move an individual to a higher level of health, greater vigor, or energy to do more than he or she is currently capable of doing. All the other statements imply a strong and healthy family unit.
