Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Alcohol or drug use does increase the risk for accidents and injury and neurologic disorders. Older adults experience more accidents and injury. Head injuries are more common in children than adults. Epilepsy occurs across the age span.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Primary prevention activities seek to reduce the incidence of disease. There are risk factors associated with hypertension. Change in modifiable risk factors may result in the reduction of disease incidence. The focus of secondary prevention is the reduction of risks and complications to the client who already has a disorder. Providing dietary counseling, blood pressure screenings, and contests for a free blood pressure cuff are examples of secondary prevention.
