Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Demography is the statistical study of human populations with reference to size and density, distribution, and vital statistics. Demographic statistics provide information about significant characteristics of a population that influence community needs and the delivery of health care services. Demographic studies provide descriptions and comparisons of populations according to the characteristics of age; race; sex; socioeconomic status; geographic distribution; and birth, death, marriage, and divorce patterns. These studies often have health implications that may or may not be addressed by the investigators.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Phenylalanine testing for phenylketonuria in infancy is an example of secondary prevention. Wearing of protective devices to prevent injury is an example of the specific health promotion component of primary prevention. Physical therapy for stroke victims and exercise programs for heart attack victims are examples of tertiary prevention.
