Obtaining necessary supplies and equipment (Choice A is wrong because) and making a list of expected outcomes for the health fair (Choice D is wrong because) are important, but not the first priority. Marketing the health fair to the employees (Choice C is wrong because) can be done once the specific health concerns have been identified.

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.
