Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or dis-ability. Primary prevention seeks to reduce the incidence of disease by preventing occurrence. Tertiary prevention reduces complications through treatment and rehabilitation. Assessment re-fers to the systematic collection of data.

Tertiary prevention reduces complications through treatment and rehabilitation. Primary preven-tion seeks to reduce the incidence of disease by preventing occurrence. Secondary prevention seeks to prevent the spread of infection and/or disease once it occurs. Primary health care is con-sidered to be the essential health care services provided by physicians and other health care pro-viders.
