Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Providing education to prevent health problems in children is part of primary prevention. Secondary prevention includes the screening of children for various illnesses, moni-toring their growth and development, and caring for them when they are ill or injured. Tertiary prevention is the continued care of children who need long-term health care services, along with education within the community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
It is the law in most states for child abuse or suspected child abuse to be reported. When a nurse identifies a child who may be abused, or receives information from a teacher about potential abuse, the nurse must contact the appropriate legal authorities as well as the school's principal. A confidential file should be made about the incident. In all cases, the child must be protected from harm, and those who have no right to know that child abuse or neglect is suspected should not be given any information.
