Assignment:Health promotion and disease prevention on a personal level.

Self-Care (Caring for Self) Health Promotion Plan
____________________________________________

The purpose of this assignment is to explore and experience health promotion and disease prevention on a personal level. This assignment is an opportunity to continue to integrate Dr. Jean Watson’s theory to care for the most important person “yourself”. We have all heard the statement “put your mask on first”, and this holds true for health promotion and disease prevention. In order to be an effective advocate of healthy living one must model behaviors for others. In this assignment you will design a personal self-care preventive plan to address any area in your life which you deem potentially at risk for disease. If you personally are in perfect health, review your family history of chronic illnesses, and genetics to determine if you are at risk for a future health issue. Put your mask on and come explore the world of Health promotion.
