Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, E
Primary health promotion is directed toward promoting good health and preventing disease. Examples include immunization clinics, providing poison control information, and accident prevention. Teaching about a healthy diet, regular exercise, and using seat belts are other examples. Secondary health promotion focuses on screening for early detection of diseases with prompt diagnosis. Things included are screenings for blood pressure and cholesterol, recommending gynecologic exams, and recommending mammograms for women at appropriate ages.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Primary health promotion is aimed at promoting health and preventing the development of a disease. Examples of primary promotion are immunizations, family planning, the teaching of healthy diet, regular exercise, safety, and safe sex. Secondary health promotion is aimed at early detection of the disease and treatment. Tertiary promotion begins after the disease is diagnosed and treated, with the goal of reducing disability and helping in rehab. The term chronic is not related to health promotion.
