Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Participating in a biofeedback program to reduce stress is classified as tertiary prevention; its goal is to maintain or minimize disease progression or to foster rehabilitation. Offering routine blood sugar screenings, providing classes on why exercise is important for people with arthritis, and planning an education program on how to prevent the development of chronic disease do not directly minimize disease progression.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Tertiary prevention includes providing adequate security to employees. Primary prevention includes a company policy of zero tolerance against violence of all people; a company policy that rewards collaboration, collegiality, and team work and promotes policies that raise the status of women in the company.
