Question

A nursing student is recalling information about the primary level of prevention. Which statement accurately describes primary prevention?

Answer 1

The statement that describes primary prevention is that it is applied to clients who are physically and emotionally healthy.

Explanation:

• If there is no apparent disorder visible in the first examination of the client, it is preferable for a nurse to apply primary prevention until the later stage examinations are done.
• It is advised that the nurses don't initiate any other treatment other than primary prevention if the client appears physically healthy and mentally sound.
