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.
