Answer to Question 1

D
Barriers to access are policies and financial, geographic, or cultural features of health care that make services difficult to obtain or so unappealing that people do not want to seek care. Exam-ples of removing barriers include providing extended clinic hours, low-cost or free health services for people who are uninsured or underinsured, transportation, mobile vans, and professional interpreters which can help improve access to care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability.
