Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Tertiary prevention focuses on chronic care and rehabilitation. Pri-mary health care refers to the first line of care provided to patients typically by a physician or other health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
It is important that nurses be able to discuss these topics to help prevent and control STDs. Without discussion of these topics, it is possible that clients will not be aware that they have an STD and may transmit it to others. Thus, the transmission of STDs may increase. A trusting rela-tionship with a health care provider may or may not develop and is not dependent on whether these issues are discussed. There are not laws that mandate nurses to discuss sexual behavior and sexual orientation with clients.
