Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The initial reason for implementing a new program, improvement of health, is often forgotten in the excitement of the new program. Considering that fact, sustainability of the lifestyle change is the primary criteria for evaluating success. How many participate, short-term health improvements, and public marketing are parts of the implementation process but will not affect the long-term health of the participants unless there is sustainability of the program.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Primary prevention improves the health and well-being of the community, making it less vulnerable to stressors. Health-promotion programs are primary prevention, as are programs that focus on protection from specific diseases. Usually health promotion is nonspecific and directed toward raising the general health of the total community, such as conducting adult exercise/fitness. Secondary prevention begins after a disease or condition is present. Emphasis is on screening, early diagnosis, and treatment of possible stressors that may adversely affect the community's health. The tine test for tuberculosis, the Denver Developmental Screening Test for developmental delays, and blood pressure assessments are secondary prevention interventions.
