Methods used to present health education have included which of the following?

Programs based on theory are more likely to be successful because they provide a framework for understanding and addressing the root causes of health issues.

Health promotion theory can help nurses to embed health promotion aims and values in their practice, and contribute to the improvement and maintenance of population health.

Choice A is incorrect because while theory can provide complexity and a deeper understanding of the process, this is not the primary reason for basing health education programs on health promotion theory.

Choice C is incorrect because the primary purpose of using health promotion theory is not to select program participants, but rather to provide a framework for understanding and addressing health issues.

Choice D is incorrect because while a theory may explain the reasons and causes of health behaviors, this is not the primary reason for basing health education programs on health promotion theory.

Health education aims to empower individuals to take control of their own health by providing them with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions.

It focuses on developing self-care skills (A), encouraging client participation in health decision-making ©, and improving client and family coping ability (D).

However, it does not involve compelling the patient to live a healthy lifestyle (B).

Instead, it provides the tools and support for individuals to make their own choices about their health.
