A 17-year-old college -bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes meningitis. This is an example of a. primary prevention. b. secondary prevention. c. tertiary prevention. d. disease treatment. ANS: A NURSINGTB.COM Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early detection, scre ening, and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has developed. 3. An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and exercise program.

Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible indiv iduals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning.

These are often nonspecific, such as headache, malaise, anor exia, and nausea, which are associated with a number of different diseases. Sequela refers to subsequent pathologic condition resulting from a disease. Convalescence is the stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation. 7.
