Answer to Question 1

D
Establishing a needle exchange program could be considered both primary (preventing a problem before it occurs by helping clients avoid disease transmission) and tertiary (working with a pop-ulation who already has a problem of drug abuse). Providing emergency shelter housing and offering physical and mental health services are both secondary and tertiary prevention interven-tions. Developing a targeted case management program is secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability.
