Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Successful programs rely on empowering citizens to make decisions about their care. Empowering citizens causes power to shift from health providers to community members. Many prefer to remain in positions of power rather than sharing. Client ideas must be included in the planning process in order to get them involved. Empowerment will lead the clients to change their lives.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Diabetes would have the higher prevalence rate because it is a long-term chronic condition that typically does not decrease. Although flu might have a higher incidence rate of new cases, because flu is typically of short duration, the prevalence rate would remain low. Flu is contagious, which could increase the incidence rate but not the prevalence rate.
