Correct According to the text, health protection activities are designed to maintain the current level of health, actively prevent disease, detect disease early, and maintain functioning. Hearing and vision screening within the school system is one such example.
Disease prevention would also be appropriate, as this refers to activities designed to protect persons from disease. Hearing and vision screening programs would be examples.
Healthy People 2010 objectives include the goal of reducing blindness and visual impairments in adolescents, thus making screening exams in school an appropriate intervention.
Vision and hearing testing would also be an appropriate health promotion activity. Thus, all responses are correct.
