Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Primary prevention involves preventing disease before it occurs. Therefore, educating clients about safe sex practices would be an example of a primary prevention strategy. Providing treatment for clients who test positive for HIV, monitoring viral loads periodically, and offering testing for clients who practice unprotected sex are examples of secondary preventive strategies, which focus on early detection and treatment of adverse health conditions.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
With the FLACC Behavioral Scale, five parameters are measured and scored as 0, 1, or 2 . They are then totaled to achieve a maximum score of 10 . The higher the score, the greater the pain. A score of 9 indicates severe pain.
