Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Blood pressure screening and pap smears are secondary prevention interven-tions. Physical therapy is a tertiary prevention intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Immunizations are an example of primary prevention. Secondary prevention interventions are designed to increase the probability that a person with a disease will have that condition diagnosed at a stage when treatment is likely to result in cure. Tertiary prevention in-cludes interventions aimed at disability limitation and rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disa-bility. Health promotion is a specific primary prevention strategy.
