Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tertiary prevention includes those interventions aimed at disability limitation and rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disability. Referral of a client with a disease is an example of tertiary prevention. Primary prevention refers to interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of dis-ease, injury, or disability. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or disability. Health promotion is a specific primary prevention strategy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nurses are involved in epidemiologic surveillance by monitoring the potential for disease out-breaks. Primary prevention refers to interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Immunizations are an example of primary prevention. Secondary prevention interventions are designed to increase the probability that a person with a disease will have that condition diagnosed at a stage when treatment is likely to result in cure. Tertiary prevention in-cludes interventions aimed at disability limitation and rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disa-bility. Multifactorial prevention is not possible with a disease like influenza, which has one cause.
