What type of prevention is screening or exams? - ANSWER - Secondary Prevention
Tertiary Prevention - ANSWER - What type of prevention is a cardiac or stroke rehabilitation
program?
What prevention attempts to minimize negative effects, prevents further disease or disorder
related to complications, prevent relapse, and restore the highest physical or psychological
functioning possible? - ANSWER - Tertiary Prevention
What prevention emphasizes on early disease detection by screening? - ANSWER - Secondary
Prevention
Primary Prevention - ANSWER - What prevention refers to preventing disease before it occurs?
Secondary Prevention - ANSWER - Which type of prevention are these examples of:
-The APN screens all pregnant patients for Hepatitis B, and Group Beta Strep.
-An APN school nurse examines all students for lice at the beginning of the school year.
-Each year the school nurse administers a visual test to all students who do not wear glasses or
contacts.
-The APN supervised patients with smallpox who are quarantined.
-Before immigrants are allowed to immigrate to the US, the public health nurse ensures that

Tertiary Prevention - ANSWER - Which type of prevention are these examples of:
-Mrs. A. goes directly to rehabilitation following a total hip replacement.
-Mr. B. adopts a Health Heart diet to control his high cholesterol.
-14 year old Lindsey Hemoglobin AC1 is within normal limits and is able to decrease her insulin.
, -Mrs. Brown, who has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, is able to maintain normal activity
without pain if she is compliant with her treatment plan.
-Many trauma patients can resume normal activities after rehabilitation.
Are you able to discuss "surveillance" and it's relationship to "causation"? - ANSWER -
Surveillance is the collection, analysis and dissemination of information pertaining to the
occurrence of a disease. In order to know what causes diseases, we must use surveillance.
How do we determine which tests are good to use? - ANSWER - Validity, reliability, cost
effective, improve quality of life or outcomes.
Primary Prevention - ANSWER - What type of prevention are these examples of:
-The APN teaching students who are not pregnant about birth control and natural family
planning methods.
-The APN plans and participates in an immunization clinic for a school population that is lacking
many of the mandated state immunizations.
-Smoking is prohibited on air planes and most public facilities.
-The APN supports legislation that is passed which ensures that working mothers have release
time to breastfeed and/or pump.
-The APN is active in his/her professional organization to lobby that pesticides are banned from
commercial use for food production.
How does a provider determine the usefulness, appropriateness, of a screening test? -
ANSWER - The target population needs to be identifiable and accessible and the disease
should affect a sufficient number of people. The screening test should be sensitive enough to
detect most cases and be specific enough to limit the number of false positives. Screening test
should be relatively inexpensive, easy to administer, and have minimal side effects. The validity
of the screening test is the ability to accurately identify those that have the disease.
Where would a NP look to find a screening test? - ANSWER - US Preventive Services Task,
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
What determines if a screening test should be used? - ANSWER - Determining if a screening
test should be used can be evaluated by the success of a screening tool. Does the screening
tool do what it was intended to do and reduce the overall mortality, decrease case fatality,
increase early detection, reduce complications or increase quality of life?
