Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tertiary prevention attempts to restore health to its highest level of functioning. Working with a county response team in the event of a pandemic outbreak would be an example of tertiary prevention. Primary prevention includes activities designed to keep health problems from happening. It often includes education. Assisting with swimming lessons and conducting monthly seminars will educate the target audiences in order to prevent a health problem. Secondary prevention is screening, early detection, and prompt treatment for health problems. Providing glucose and cholesterol screening is an example of secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Healthy People initiative is the blueprint for the nation's health goals. Updated every 10 years, it lists national health priorities. Information related to the Healthy People initiative can be found on the other sites, but they are secondary sources. The student would do best to investigate the primary source.
