Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Primary prevention includes screening and prevention efforts that target the general population. Secondary prevention occurs through generalized screening and inquiry with high-risk populations. Tertiary prevention involves caring for victims affected by or currently experiencing violence. Adding a question to the standard health history form and putting up posters are examples of primary prevention, as they are aimed at the general public. Screening a woman for evidence of abuse who has several risk factors for IPV is an example of secondary prevention. Providing help to a woman who is being abused is an example of tertiary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C, D
Feedback:
Appropriate strategies include the following: asking mothers indirectly (written questionnaire, computer survey), asking mothers directly, without (not with) the child present; informing parents about mandatory reporting laws before (not after) asking questions; screening for safety and dangerousness of the situation; and being aware of resources and referrals. It would not be appropriate to ask the child about IPV that the mother may have experienced.
