Answer to Question 1

A
An example of primary prevention would be preparing and presenting a class on relaxation techniques to mental health workers. Primary prevention focuses on education. Primary prevention activities refer to activities aimed at reducing the incidence of a mental disorder within a population. The emphasis lies in targeting population groups at risk of developing the mental disorder or environmental factors that may contribute to it. Screening for a particular disease such as hypertension is an example of secondary prevention. The other two options are examples of tertiary prevention because they focus on rehabilitation and restoration.
