Answer to Question 1

A
A healthy individual getting a flu shot is primary prevention. Primary prevention precedes disease or disability or dysfunction. Primary prevention aimed at health promotion includes health education programs, immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities. Taking blood pressure medication every day is a secondary prevention because the patient is trying to prevent further complications. Physical therapy after a cerebrovascular accident is intended to prevent further complications and deterioration and is tertiary prevention. Instructing a patient to live with a known disability is tertiary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

D
Hope is energizing, giving individuals a motivation to achieve and the resources to use toward that achievement. Religion refers to the system of organized beliefs and worship that a person practices to outwardly express spirituality. Faith involves a belief in a higher power, spirit guide, God, or Allah. Spirituality offers a sense of connectedness. Spirituality is unique for each person. It is a unifying theme in life and a state of being.
