Principles of Management Development in Health Care

							STATE GOAL 22: Understand principles of health promotion and the prevention
and treatment of illness and injury.

Why This Goal Is Important: Nutrition, exercise, rest, hygiene and safety are the bases for
personal, family and occupational health. From an early age, students can recognize healthy
habits and understand why they are important. As students become more sophisticated in their
understanding, they learn and can adopt a variety of ways to minimize illness and enhance
health. Learners will be able to apply the effects of health-related actions to success in the
workplace. Students who develop an effective understanding of basic health promotion can
establish the foundation for achieving and maintaining personal health and well-being by making
informed wellness decisions now and throughout their lives.

A. Explain the basic principles of health promotion, illness prevention and safety.
