Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention activities are aimed at early diagnosis and prompt intervention. Blood pressure screening events are a good example. Stroke rehabilitation is tertiary prevention. Bicycle safety classes and nutrition education are examples of primary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention includes activities designed to prevent a disease or condition from occurring in the first place. Examples of primary prevention activities include vaccinations, wellness programs, good nutrition for health, and safer sex programs. Mammograms and physical exams are secondary prevention measures. Medication compliance would be tertiary prevention.
