Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Primary prevention includes activities designed to keep health problems from happening. It often includes education. Teaching teens the dangers of texting and driving will (hopefully) prevent motor vehicle crashes. Secondary prevention is screening, early detection, and prompt treatment for health problems. Providing blood pressure screening and mammograms are examples of secondary prevention. Tertiary prevention attempts to restore health to its highest level of functioning. Providing eyeglasses for needy people with vision problems is an example of tertiary prevention.
