Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There are four common folk illnesses that a nurse may encounter with the Mexican client: (1) mal de ojo (evil eye), (2) susto (fright), (3) empacho (indigestion), and (4) caida de mollera (fallen fontanel). When faced with one of these illnesses, the traditional Mexican individual would pre-fer to seek care with a folk healer. Healers known as curanderos, herbalistas, and espiritualistas are often sources of health care for folk illnesses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The primary level of prevention often includes education for the prevention of diseases, measures to reduce pesticide exposure, and immunizations. Caring for persons afflicted with pesticide ex-posure, setting up clinics for persons with HIV, and doing research in the field related to heat stress are examples of tertiary prevention.
