Question 2 of 5
A nurse is educating a group of middle adults about health promotion. What statement by one of the participants indicates the need for additional education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: I will make exercise a part of my daily activities.' This is a positive and correct statement. Regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle and should be encouraged.

A diet high in fats and low in fiber is not recommended for maintaining health and can lead to various health issues like obesity, heart disease, and digestive problems. 'I only have one glass of wine a day with dinner.' This statement aligns with moderate alcohol consumption guidelines, which suggest that up to one glass of wine per day for women and two for men can be part of a healthy lifestyle. 'I will begin a smoking cessation program this week.' This statement reflects a positive health choice. Quitting smoking is one of the most beneficial actions a person can take for their health, reducing risks for many diseases.
