Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
After the acute attack, the goal is to prevent systemic spread of the disease. This may be done by avoiding drugs or foods that are high in purine and alcohol, both of which increase uric acid lev-els. Exercise and splinting are not effective in achieving the goal and salicylates should be avoided since they will affect the effectiveness of the prescribed medications for gout.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Primary prevention includes activities such as promoting or conducting smoking cessation pro-grams and community intervention, including organizational efforts to promote and administer preventive vaccinations such as that for influenza and pneumonia. Primary prevention includes political activism with industry leaders and environmental agencies to push for clean air and wa-ter. Referrals to specialists or teaching individuals who already have respiratory illness are not part of primary prevention.
