Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Finding shelter for a victim of abuse demonstrates secondary prevention. Primary preven-tion refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disabil-ity. Tertiary prevention refers to interventions aimed at treatment and rehabilitation. Primary care is not a level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
High crime rate is the only community characteristic. Lack of family cohesion is a familial fac-tor. Social isolation and substance abuse are individual factors.
