Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
EBPH is a public health endeavor in which there is an informed, explicit, and judicious use of evidence that has been derived from any of a variety of science and social science research and evaluation methods. EBPH includes more than public health records. EBPH is not an integration of nursing expertise. EBPH is not derived from community principles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tertiary prevention includes those interventions aimed at disability limitation and rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disability. Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at pre-venting the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or disability. Primary health care refers to the first line of care provided to patients typically by a physician or other health care provider.
