c. Insurance companies are not involved.
d. The major goal is to achieve optimal levels of health care.

have involvement in the health care system. The illness of patients is not necessarily affected by

a. increased education concerning causes of illness.
b. improved insurance payments.
c. decentralized care centers.
d. increased number of health care givers.

The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today’s emphasis on education about
issues such as smoking, heart disease, drug and alcohol abuse, weight control, and mental health
and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in an emphasis on
wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care centers, and
increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on wellness.

environment as a method of health promotion?
a. Clara Barton

nurse in America, was responsible for the development of the first nursing and hospital records,
