Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Primary interventions are interventions that occur before disease appears. The goal of primary interventions is to promote health and prevent disease. Secondary interventions aim to reduce the impact of the disease process by early detection and treatment. Tertiary interventions aim to halt disease progression and restore client functioning.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Biologically based therapies use substances found in nature, such as food, herbs, vitamins, and scents used in aromatherapy. These therapies are readily available and are often practiced as self-care measures, so people who do not wish to see a practitioner may not need to do so. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates biologically based therapies and is developing guidelines for good manufacturing practices (GMPs). However, dosage and manufacturing processes are not standardized. The Federal Trade Commission monitors dietary supplements for truth in advertising. At present, it is difficult to know what dosage you are obtaining from a product, and safety cannot always be guaranteed.
