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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
