Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The secondary prevention level focuses on early diagnosis and prompt treatment as well as disa-bility limitations. Adequate treatment for the electrolyte imbalance is sought to prevent further complications.
Health promotion is a focus of the primary prevention level.
The primary prevention level focuses on health promotion and specific protection measures such as immunizations and personal hygiene.
The tertiary prevention level focuses on restoration and rehabilitation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Tertiary prevention occurs when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible. Care of the hospice nurse at this level aims to help the client and the client's family achieve as high a level of functioning as possible despite the limitations caused by the cancer.
Teaching a client how to irrigate a new colostomy would be an example of secondary prevention. If the colostomy is to be permanent, care may later move to the tertiary level of prevention.
Providing a class on hygiene for an elementary school class would be an example of the primary level of prevention.
Informing a client about available immunizations would be an example of primary prevention.
