Which item is categorized as Health Promotion in Jenny Smith's Priority Assignments?

• A. Health Promotion: Client Education
• B. Psychosocial: Grief
• C. Physiological: Pain
• D. Psychosocial: Mood and Affect

Answer: (A)

Health Promotion emphasizes actions that prevent illness and promote wellness, such as educating the patient about how to care for themselves and prevent complications. The item labeled Health Promotion: Client Education fits this domain because it centers on teaching the client, enabling better self-care and prevention. The other items relate to emotional or symptomatic aspects—grief and mood/affect are psychosocial, while pain is a physiological symptom needing assessment and relief, not education. So the entry that focuses on educating the client clearly aligns with Health Promotion.
