Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Primary care focuses on health services provided on an individual basis, whereas primary health care focuses on improved health outcomes for an entire population. This model emphasizes health promotion, the development of health policies, and prevention of disease within communities. Individual health screenings and discharge planning are primary care areas because they focus on the individual.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Health promotion programs lower the overall costs of health care by reducing the incidence of disease, minimizing complications, and thus reducing the need to use more expensive health care resources. In contrast, preventive care is more disease oriented and is focused on reducing and controlling risk factors for disease through activities such as immunization and occupational health programs.
