Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-abilityproviding health counseling with teenagers (an at risk population). Primary prevention aims to prevent disease, injury, or disability before it occurs. Tertiary prevention aims for rehabil-itation and treatment. Assessment is not a level of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Writing house of worship newsletter articles informing the faith community about healthy food choices would classify as primary prevention. Providing health assessments and counseling for a client who just had surgery and assisting in making behavioral changes for a person who is abus-ing alcohol are examples of tertiary prevention (treatment and rehabilitation). Doing blood pres-sure screenings after church one Sunday is an example of secondary prevention (screening).
