Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tertiary prevention is the continued care of children who need long-term health care services, along with education within the community. Ongoing care to a pregnant teenager is part of ter-tiary prevention. Secondary prevention includes the screening of children for various illnesses, monitoring their growth and development, and caring for them when they are ill or injured. Pri-mary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, in-jury, or disability.
