Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
According to Neuman's theory, the goal of primary prevention is to promote client wellness by stress prevention and reduction of risk factors. Secondary prevention occurs after symptoms ap-pear such as muscle strengthening post surgery. At the tertiary level of prevention, the nurse supports rehabilitation processes involved in healing, moving the client back to wellness and the primary level of disease prevention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
A support system of family, friends, and colleagues who will listen, offer advice, and provide emotional support benefits a client experiencing stress. The individuals need not have actually experienced the same stressors nor is it necessary or reasonable to expect that they will meet all your needs.
