Levels of Preventative care - Answer-Primary Care: aims to prevent disease or injury
before it ever occurs. This is done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause
disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviours that can lead to disease or
injury, and increasing resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur.

Secondary Care: aims to reduce the impact of a disease or injury that has already
occurred. This is done by detecting and treating disease or injury as soon as possible to
halt or slow its progress, encouraging personal strategies to prevent reinjury or
recurrence, and implementing programs to return people to their original health and
function to prevent long-term problems.

Tertiary Care: aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting
effects. This is done by helping people manage long-term, often-complex health
problems and injuries (e.g. chronic diseases, permanent impairments) in order to
improve as much as possible their ability to function, their quality of life and their life
expectancy.

According to theorist Virginia Henderson:

knowledge." ~1966

Revised:
"Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages,
families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the
promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people.
Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping health
policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also key
nursing roles." ~2007

nurse's ability to provide quality health care and achieve optimal outcomes ~2010
