Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Primary prevention focuses on prevention of illness and injury before it occurs. Tertiary prevention focuses on treatment and rehabilitation. Assessment is not a level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The termination phase is the time to plan for future visits. The initiation phase also includes clari-fying the source of referral and sharing information regarding the purpose of a home visit with the family. The in-home phase is the actual visit to the home. The major task of the post-visit phase is documenting the visit and services provided.
