Answer to Question 1

C
Tertiary prevention aims to care for established disease. Helping women having radiation therapy for cancer would fall into this realm. Teaching is primary prevention. The emergency pregnancy clinic is secondary prevention. Home safety is primary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

A
The absorption of aspirin occurs in the stomach and so is greatly altered by the presence of food.
The other statements are incorrect.
