Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Mortality refers to death. Government agencies keep both mortality and morbidity records on public health threats. Morbidity refers to illness. Epidemiology is the statistical analysis of factors related to disease in populations over time. Primary prevention includes activities designed to keep health problems from happening. It often includes education.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. According to Purnell and Paulanka (2008), one must also consider the definition of health as it is described by people within their own ethnocultural group. The other options are not part of this consideration.
