Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
The tertiary level of prevention involves restorative, rehabilitative, or quality of life care, such as arranging for a physical therapy session. Teaching the parents to administer albuterol and reminding them to give the full course of antibiotics as prescribed are part of the secondary level of prevention, which focuses on diagnosis and treatment of illness. Giving a DTaP vaccination at proper intervals is an example of the primary level of prevention, which centers on health promotion and illness prevention.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Unless contraindicated, the parents should be encouraged to be present before, during, and after the procedure to provide comforting support to the child. Kangaroo care, small-gauge needles, and nonnutritive sucking are other methods to provide atraumatic care.
