Answer to Question 1

B
Acute care activities address the challenges of conditions associated with failures of secondary and tertiary prevention. Acute care is aimed at disease detection in a presymptomatic stage or preventing complications in patients with symptomatic chronic disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
Transvestites are transgendered people who may dress as persons of the gender opposite of their birth gender but still identify as their birth gender. Gender benders dress and have mannerisms that make their gender identity difficult to determine. Homosexual refers to sexual orientation which is of the same sex. Transsexual is a transgendered person who believes they were born into the wrong-gendered body. They take on the dress, roles, and behaviors of the gender opposite of their birth and may eventually take hormone therapy and have surgery to become who they perceive they were really born to be.
