Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The goal of tertiary prevention is to preclude further deterioration of physical and mental func-tion in a person who has an existing illness, and to have the client use whatever residual function is available for maximum enjoyment of and participation in life's activities. Health promotion is aimed at reducing the incidence of disease and its impact on people. Primary prevention is aimed at general health promotion.
Secondary prevention is aimed at early recognition and treatment of disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
When assessing the structure or locale of a community, the nurse should travel around the neigh-borhood or community and observe its design; the location of services, such as water and sanita-tion; and the locations where residents congregate. Collecting demographic data on age distribu-tion would be an assessment of the community's population. Visiting neighborhood schools to review health records is an example of assessing a social system within a community. Interview-ing clients to determine the cultural composition of subgroups is an example of assessing the population within a community.
