Which PREA standard component is explicitly listed among the standards (examples include prevention planning, education, risk screening, etc.)?

• A. Prevention planning
• B. Facility maintenance
• C. Meal planning
• D. Recreation services

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing which elements are formally included as PREA standards. PREA requires a specific prevention planning component that guides how a facility identifies risks, develops policies, assigns responsibilities, and monitors progress to prevent sexual abuse. That prevention planning element is explicitly listed among the standard components. The other options—facility maintenance, meal planning, and recreation services—are important for general operations but are not designated PREA standard components, even though they may support the environment; they aren’t the explicit prevention-focused item the standard set calls out.
