Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Primary prevention's aim is preventing disease. Development of a smoking prevention program is primary prevention. Development of a support group for widows and development of a hospice care program are examples of tertiary prevention. Development of a hypertension screening pro-gram is an example of secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Barriers to accessing care include the inability to afford health care, lack of transportation, phys-ical barriers, communication problems, child care needs, lack of time or information, or refusal of services by providers. The unemployed male is most likely to experience a barrier because of not having a job, which may reduce his access to health insurance and limit his income.
