Question 1
In community health nursing, primary prevention includes which of the following activities?
Correct Answer Explanation
The three levels of prevention are:
| Level | Target | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Healthy population — prevent disease onset | Immunization, health education, clean water, nutrition |
| Secondary | Early detection and treatment | Screening, early diagnosis, prompt treatment |
| Tertiary | Reduce disability, restore function | Rehabilitation, chronic disease management |
Immunization is a classic example of primary prevention as it prevents disease before it occurs.
