Health education is the most important part of health promotion. Most of America require education to make informed decisions, our school system has not put health at the fore front of education. You can use the nursing process when working with patients to see what they really need. The nurse can assess about the major problem most of the globe is facing which is over eating and obesity. Then diagnosis what the issue is with this family weather it is education or bad habits on overeating. Form a plan with the family to change the behavior whether that is diet, exercise, or more education. Then we will give the family time to implement the plan and start changing their diet to incorporate more healthy food choices and correct proportions, also daily exercising. Then after time we can sit together and have a meeting with each other and evaluate how well the plan has worked. We will talk about what has worked well for the family and what has been difficult. We now can set new goals, provide more education and tweak the plan for the family to improve areas of difficulty and implement the new plan starting over the process.

Question 1: Describe a contemporary issue, local or global, that a family may experience today. What steps would the nurse take to address these as part of a health education plan?
