Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The epidemiologist works to develop programs to prevent the development and spread of disease. Studying census data, researching population variables, and designing studies do not fall in this field.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tertiary care is aimed at people who are already experiencing a health alteration, such as those with an infection who need antibiotics. The other options are secondary prevention.
