Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
According to reports in Healthy People 2020, individuals who get the least amount of physical activity include women, lower income and lower educated populations, and African American and Hispanic populations. Therefore, the nurse would be most effective in targeting the individuals of Hispanic descent who are attending English as a Second Language course, the group of females attending a mother's support group, and the adolescents participating in after school programs for low-income families.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Secondary prevention involves early diagnosis of health problems. Due to an increased risk of breast cancer in women over 50, routine screening is recommended yearly. Screening mammograms are considered secondary prevention. Other examples of secondary prevention include screenings such as blood tests, surgery, and dental care. Prepathologic is another name for primary prevention, which implies health and high-level functioning prior to development of pathology. Examples of primary prevention include immunizations and eating a healthy diet. Tertiary prevention occurs following the development of a disease or pathologic condition and is aimed at restoring an individual to the highest level of health possible. An example of tertiary prevention would be physical rehabilitation therapy for a client who has had a stroke.
