Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. An endemic disease is one that demonstrates a consistent chain of transmission from person to person for 12 months or more in a particular geographic area. An epidemic involves the occurrence of a great number of cases of a disease far beyond what would ordinarily be expected in a given population. An outbreak is an increased number of cases in the population that does not approach epidemic proportions. A pandemic is the simultaneous, extensive outbreak of disease or epidemics in several parts of the world.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Providing follow-up care for psychological problems that result from a disaster is a part of health restoration. Providing immediate and supportive care is a part of illness prevention. Disaster prevention and minimizing disaster effects is a part of health promotion. This is not an example of mental health care.
