| dc.description | This edition presents health data with related theories and skills that are needed to understand and practice when providing care. This book focuses on primary prevention intervention; its three main components are: (1) health promotion, (2) specific health protection, and (3) prevention of specific diseases. Health promotion is the intervention designed to improve health, such as providing adequate nutrition, a healthy environment, and ongoing health education. Specific protection and prevention strategies, such as massive immunizations, periodic examinations, and safety features in the workplace, are the interventions used to protect against illness. In addition to primary prevention, this book discusses secondary prevention interventions, focusing specifically on screening and education. Such programs include blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes screening and referral. This text is present in five parts, unit 1, Foundations for Health Promotion, unit 2, Assessment for Health Promotion, unit 3, Interventions for Health Promotion, unit 4, Application of Health Promotion, and unit 5, Emerging Global Health Issues.Throughout these units, the evolving health care professions and the changing health care systems, including future challenges and initiatives for health promotion, are described. Emphasis is placed on the current concerns of reducing health care costs while increasing life expectancy and improving the quality of life for all Americans. This promotes the reader’s immediate interest in thoughts about the content of the chapters | |
