(Do not use a trailing zero) 

Choice A rationale
Reserving a facility for the program is a logistical step, not a SMART goal. SMART goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This choice does not meet those criteria.
Choice B rationale
Having clients share their feelings is important for support and motivation, but it is not a SMART goal. It lacks specificity and measurability, making it difficult to assess progress and success.
Choice C rationale
Setting a goal for 50% of the clients to stop smoking within 3 weeks is a SMART goal. It is Specific (50% of clients), Measurable (stop smoking), Achievable (within 3 weeks), Relevant (smoking cessation), and Time-bound (3 weeks). This goal provides a clear target and timeframe for evaluating the program’s effectiveness.
Choice D rationale
Discussing smoking cessation techniques is an important part of the program, but it is not a SMART goal. It lacks specificity and measurability, making it difficult to assess the program’s success.

Choice A rationale
Disease surveillance is not a level of prevention. It is an activity that can be part of different levels of prevention.
Choice B rationale
Tertiary prevention involves managing and rehabilitating patients with established diseases. Disease surveillance does not fit this category.
Choice C rationale
Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of disease. Disease surveillance is not primary prevention.

Choice D rationale
Secondary prevention involves early detection and treatment of disease. Disease surveillance fits this category as it aims to monitor and identify health issues early.
