Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Promoting environmental policies to prevent recurrence is a tertiary measure. Damage has already occurred and the objective is to restore capability to its optimal level. Promoting legislation and screening are secondary measures. Promoting replacement of hazard-producing processes is a primary measure.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. During a house renovation there is a possibility that the house may have lead paint. Children should be screened for lead levels if there has been a change in activity or affect. Having an earlier bedtime or eating a protein-rich diet will have no effect if lead levels are high. Screening for hearing difficulties is not an appropriate intervention if lead exposure is suspected.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
