Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Based on the 2010 U.S. Census data, centenarians were overwhelmingly white (82.5), women (82.8), and living in urban areas of the Southern states.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Primary prevention refers to strategies that are used to prevent an illness before it occurs and maintaining wellness across the continuum of care. Immunizations and smoking cessation are examples of primary prevention. Secondary prevention is the early detection of a disease or a health problem that has already developed. Prostate screening is an example of secondary pre-vention. Tertiary prevention addresses the needs of individuals who already have their wellness challenged. Cardiac rehabilitation and meal planning for diabetics are examples of tertiary pre-vention.
