Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The goal of tertiary prevention is to limit disability and rehabilitate or restore affected people to their maximum possible capacities. General health promotion, such as nutrition, hygiene, exercise, and environmental protection, as well as specific health promotion, such as immunizations and the wearing of protective devices to prevent injuries, are the goals of primary prevention. Detecting and treating a problem at the earliest possible stage when disease or impairment already exists is the goal of secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Descriptive epidemiology focuses on the distribution of frequencies and patterns of health events with groups in a population. Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to improve health. Population is defined as people with a common characteristic, such as gender, age, and place of residence. Analytic epidemiology seeks to identify associations between a particular disease or health problem and its etiology.
