Healthy People 2020 goals include:

• A. Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages
• B. Increase hospital bed capacity
• C. Eliminate all aging
• D. Reduce life expectancy

Answer: (A)

Healthy People 2020 focuses on improving health across the lifespan by promoting quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors at every life stage. This emphasis on prevention, health education, and actions that support long-term well-being is why the correct choice matches best.

The other options don’t fit this national health agenda: increasing hospital bed capacity is a resource allocation goal rather than a health outcome; eliminating aging isn’t realistic or part of health objectives; reducing life expectancy would run counter to the aim of improving population health.
