Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Secondary level of health prevention focuses on screening and early detection of disease with the goal of early intervention. Secondary health prevention may include the following screenings: blood pressure, temperature, pulse, vision, hearing, lead, cardiac risk profile, chemistry labs, and mammography. Primary level of prevention focuses on health promotion and education as well as the prevention of illness and disease through health-promoting behaviors. Tertiary level of prevention is the care and restoration of a patient after an insult or injury/disease has occurred. Holistic health care is a concept that evolved in the 1970s and 1980s and is defined as a comprehensive approach to health care including physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual attributes of a person.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Primary prevention focuses on health promotion and education as well as the prevention of illness and disease through health-promoting behaviors. Educating clients about promoting healthy behaviors is considered optimal because the costs for primary prevention are minimal and its impact can be significant. Secondary prevention focuses on screening and early detection of disease with the goal of early intervention. This helps to identify clients who are at risk for certain diseases. Tertiary prevention is the care and restoration of a patient after an insult or injury/disease has occurred. Preventive care is not a level of health promotion but a component of all three categories of care delivery.
