Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Promoting bystander intervention is the most effective strategy as it empowers students to take action and prevent bullying incidents. By encouraging bystanders to intervene when they witness bullying, the behavior is less likely to continue. Zero-tolerance policies may have limited effectiveness as they often focus on punishment rather than prevention. Peer mediation and conflict resolution workshops are valuable but may not directly address the immediate need for bystander intervention in bullying situations.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An interactive game that involves physical movement is the most appropriate activity for elementary school students when educating them on the importance of physical activity. This choice is preferred because it engages children directly in physical activity, making the learning experience fun, interactive, and memorable. Children at this age group learn best through hands-on experiences and active participation, which can be effectively facilitated through interactive games. Choices A, C, and D are less suitable for this age group as they do not actively involve children in physical movement or interactive learning experiences. A lecture may not be engaging enough for young children, a worksheet may not provide the required level of activity, and a video presentation may not offer the same level of direct engagement and participation as an interactive game.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In many cultures, older women, such as grandmothers or aunts, hold significant influence over health-related decisions and practices within the family.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The 45-year-old father who smokes and has high cholesterol should be prioritized for further evaluation and intervention. He has multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including smoking and high cholesterol, which significantly increase his risk. Addressing these modifiable risk factors is crucial in preventing cardiovascular events. The daughter (Choice B) and mother (Choice C) also have risk factors, but the father's combination of smoking and high cholesterol places him at higher immediate risk, demanding priority intervention. The 12-year-old son (Choice D) with a normal weight and an active lifestyle has a lower risk profile and does not require immediate intervention compared to the father.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Prenatal care is crucial for monitoring the health of both the mother and the fetus.
