Answer 1

Answer: There are many health sciences branches that involve educating individuals and communities for the promotion of health. The area that I choose is nursing care related to the prevention of disease and I want to do more research on it. Nursing care is very important to maintain the health of the individual and community. It provides holistic care and if we do more research on it we can find much evidence-based practice that is needed for the improvement of high-quality nursing care.

The professional can do educating the individual and community people by face to face interviews for individuals and for the community by conducting awareness programs or by sharing the information in a large group of people in the form of group discussion.  In health care, professionals mostly provide education as a primary preventive measure to promote health and prevention of disease. The health education is mostly focus on risk population for any disease. This gives an idea to the individual and community of risk population how they can prevent and promote health by themself from the diseases.
