Answer and explanation

The correct answer is Choice A because, "Conduct a survey to identify the community's need for hypertension screening." This is the correct answer because it is important to determine the need for hypertension screening in the community before implementing a health-screening program.

Choice B is wrong because, "Research best practices for treatment of hypertension," is not the correct answer because it is a step that comes after identifying the need for hypertension screening.

Choice C is wrong because, "Determine the number of clients referred for treatment of hypertension," is not the correct answer because it is a step that comes after hypertension screening has occurred.

Choice D is wrong because, "Apply for funding to conduct hypertension screening," is not the correct answer because it is a step that comes after identifying the need for hypertension screening and developing a plan for the health-screening program.

The correct answer is Choice B because "Provide a smoking cessation class." Secondary prevention activities aim to detect and treat a disease in its early stages. In the case of smoking cessation classes, it is a secondary prevention activity because it aims to detect and treat the harmful effects of smoking before it progresses to a more serious condition such as lung cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Choice A is wrong because, "Advocate for laws that prohibit texting while driving," is not the correct answer because it is an example of primary prevention, which aims to prevent the onset of a disease or injury. Choice C is wrong because, "Refer a client who is recovering from a substance use disorder to a social service program," is an example of tertiary prevention, which aims to prevent complications or further progression of a disease. Choice D is wrong because, "Encourage a pregnant client to participate in prenatal care," is also an example of primary prevention, which focuses on preventing the onset of a disease or condition.
