Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The individual level of practice focuses on interventions that involve working with individuals, either singly, or in groups, and with families. Individual level intervention changes knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and behaviors of individuals. Community level interventions are car-ried out with the community as a whole. This level of intervention changes community norms, attitudes, awareness, practices, and behaviors. Systems level interventions change organizations, policies, laws, and power structures within communities. Policy is not a level of intervention de-scribed by The Wheel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Working with a local employer to provide smoking cessation education is the only example of health teaching at the systems level of practice. Participating in the Great American Smokeout occurs at the community level and is not health teaching. Providing one-on-one counseling to smokers is health teaching at the individual level of practice. Advocating for increased taxes on tobacco products occurs at the systems level of practice, but it is not health teaching.
