Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Establishing a needle exchange program could be considered both primary (preventing a problem before it occurs by helping clients avoid disease transmission) and tertiary (working with a popu-lation who already has a problem of drug abuse). Providing emergency shelter housing and of-fering physical and mental health services are both secondary and tertiary prevention interven-tions. Developing a targeted case management program is secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To implement effective nursing interventions for homeless clients, nurses need to be aware of their own beliefs and values about the homeless as well as understand the concepts of homeless-ness.
