Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Health promotion is behavior that is motivated by the desire to increase well-being and actualize human potential. This is different from disease prevention/health protection, which is behavior motivated by a desire to actively avoid illness, detect it early, or maintain functioning within the constraints of illness. The activities of teaching a class of kindergartners how to properly wash their hands, teaching a group of preschoolers about different fruits and vegetables that they might like to try, and teaching a mother and baby exercise group are focused on well-being and not a particular illness. The activities of being a guest on a talk show to provide information how to avoid an infection that is endemic, encouraging an individual whose blood pressure screening was abnormal to have their blood pressure rechecked in 1 week, and leading a group of stroke survivors in soft exercise are focused on avoiding specific illnesses and not on improved general health.
