Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The use of medications is characteristic of tertiary health promotion and illness prevention. Testing and screening are examples of secondary health promotion and illness prevention, while client education and political advocacy are associated with primary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The Health-Illness Continuum views health as a constantly changing state, with high-level wellness and death being on opposite ends of a graduated scale. The Agent-Host-Environment Model is useful in examining the causes of disease in an individual. The Health Belief Model describes health behaviors. The Health Promotion Model incorporates individual characteristics and experiences, as well as behavior-specific knowledge and beliefs, to motivate healthy behavior.
