Answer: (A)

Wellness education is about equipping people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand their health and actively manage it. It emphasizes empowerment and self-management, helping individuals gain new understanding and control over their lives so they can make informed choices, adopt healthier behaviors, and cope with health challenges. This aim isn’t about curing illnesses or performing clinical tasks like administering medications, nor is it about following orders without question. Instead, it focuses on building health literacy, goal setting, problem solving, and lifestyle changes that support ongoing participation in health decisions and overall well-being.
