Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Secondary prevention focuses on screening and early disease identification, such as checking the blood glucose levels of a large number of individuals to identify potential cases of diabetes. Wound treatment and medication administration would be considered tertiary interventions, and education would be considered primary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Simple columnar epithelium lines the intestine and has cilia and mucus-secreting goblet cells. The intestinal tract does not consist of glandular epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium, or stratified epithelium.
