Answer 1

Question 19. No previous question available

Question 20. False

Though it is true that that approximately 80% of men who reach age 80 have cancer cells in their prostate and many of those men will die due to other causes, undiagnosed with prostate cancer. However this undiagnosed population is not in the clinical disease stage as there are no recognizable clinical findings based on different physical and medical tests. This undiagnosed population can be categorized under sub-clinical disease stage

Question 22. True

Since Zebadiah tested positive for HIV last year, it he has been infected with HIV but does not necessarily mean that he has AIDS. However, it can take many years for people with HIV to develop AIDS and that is why he is still considered at-risk for the disease

Question 22. Security

Obviously, if the federal government mandates background checks before all gun sales, this would be addressing the security goal of the government so as to make sure that all the guns are being saled to responsible individuals and there will not be an issue on the security of others
