Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Providing case management services for clients with chronic illness demonstrates tertiary preven-tion, as it is focused on treatment and rehabilitation. Providing immunizations is a primary pre-vention, and conducting lead screening activities and identifying and treating clients in a TB clinic are at the secondary level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Partnerships are built upon identified strengths and assets, including areas that need improve-ment. This is one of the principles of good practice. An effective partnership is formed by bal-anced power and understanding among the partners. Partnerships use mutual trust and respect genuineness and commitment as part of their relationship.
