The Health Promotion Nurse endeavors to eliminate or reduce problem health behaviors and expand patient involvement in their own care through the completion of a standardized assessment in the patient's home, employment of a variety of self-care and self-management approaches, joint meetings among the physician, participant, caregiver, and nurse, the use of goals and other health promotion strategies, and emphasis on exercise and physical activity.
