Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Screenings are secondary prevention activities. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and screening. Tertiary prevention focuses on treatment and rehabilitationeduca ting patients with strokes. Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disabilityworking with communities on emergency preparedness plans and developing social networking interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Healthy People 2020 lists communicable disease as an area of focus, including levels of HIV, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and sexually transmitted infections. One method to reduce the risk of acquiring a communicable disease is by the PHN providing information on the hazards of multiple sexual partners and street drug use. Encouraging community members to engage in healthy behaviors does not specifically address communicable diseases. Identifying behaviors and monitoring sexual activity are not appropriate focuses for programming.
