Answer to Question 1

A
Access is the degree to which services and information about care are easily obtained. When the consumer/doctor ratio is high, access is often compromised.

Answer to Question 2

A
Teaching the children to distinguish acceptable from unacceptable touching by others is an example of primary prevention. Primary prevention includes strengthening individuals and families by providing support and enrichment to at-risk individuals and families so they can cope more effectively with life stressors and demands. Education is a major aspect of primary prevention.
