Answer preview

people in urban areas are often impersonal and independent. To solve the issue of overuse of the minor emergency room (ER), I would perform an analysis of the cases brought to the ER. Using the results, I would create a practical guide for population groups to minimize the common injuries or illnesses and administer the guide to the groups educating them on various health promotion strategies. My classmate’s best experience was playing outside on the farm with their peers while my best memories are from taking vacations with my parents.
