Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
IDUs represent the most rapidly growing source of new cases of AIDS, and they are the greatest risk for spread of the virus in the heterosexual community. Emphasis is being placed on reduction of the transmission of this disease through contaminated needles. Nurses should provide educa-tion on cleaning needles with bleach between uses to decrease the spread of the virus. Education on needle exchange programs is also appropriate; however, this population is not as likely to use these programs even when they are available.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention includes education about drugs and guidelines for their use, preventing the problem before it occurs. Secondary prevention aims for early detection and screening. Tertiary prevention addresses treatment and rehabilitation. Primary health care prevention is not a level of prevention.
