Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Secondary prevention focuses on interventions that identify mental health problems early and reduce the duration and prevalence of mental illness. Examples for community mental health nurses include conducting screening surveys that focus on identifying mental illness in people within schools or the community, referring clients for mental health treatment, and providing crisis intervention to a community that has encountered a natural or man-made disaster

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Tertiary prevention is the final level of prevention. Its focus is rehabilitation and ways to minimize residual effects for people who have encountered mental health problems. Examples include social skills training, vocational rehabilitation, self-help groups, systems of care and wraparound for children and families, and sufficient residential and independent living services.
