Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Healthy People 2020 focuses on implementing health promotion in priority areas using primary and secondary prevention. Understanding the three learning domains is crucial in providing ef-fective health care. Health fairs targeted at specific populations can provide a venue for provid-ing primary and secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Health education enables clients to attain optimal health, prevent health problems, and identify and treat health problems early to minimize disability. Elimination of disability may not be possi-ble. Health education does not teach about the Healthy People 2020 document or break popula-tions into individuals.
