Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. In this case, prevention is aimed at reducing risk. Secondary prevention fo-cuses on early detection and screening. Tertiary prevention focuses on treatment and rehabilita-tion. Quality care refers to providing the best services possible and is not a level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Individual licensure is a contract between the profession and the state. Under this contract, the profession is granted control over entry into, and exit from, the profession and over quality of professional practice. The licensing process requires that written regulations define the scope and limits of the professional's practice.
