The nurse is participating at a health fair at the local mall giving influenza vaccines to
senior citizens. What level of prevention is the nurse practicing?
A) Primary prevention
B) Secondary prevention
C) Tertiary prevention
D) Quaternary prevention - correct answer...✔✔Primary prevention is aimed at health
promotion and includes health-education programs, immunizations, and physical and
nutritional fitness activities. It can be provided to an individual and includes activities
that focus on maintaining or improving the general health of individuals, families, and
communities. It also includes specific protection such as immunization for influenza.
A patient experienced a myocardial infarction 4 weeks ago and is currently participating
in the daily cardiac rehabilitation sessions at the local fitness center. In what level of
prevention is the patient participating?
A) Primary prevention
B) Secondary prevention
C) Tertiary prevention
D) Quaternary prevention - correct answer...✔✔Tertiary prevention involves minimizing
the effects of long-term disease or disability by interventions directed at preventing
complications and deterioration following the myocardial infarction. Tertiary-prevention
activities are directed at rehabilitation rather than diagnosis and treatment. Care at this
level aims to help patients achieve as high a level of functioning as possible, despite the
limitations caused by illness or impairment. This level of care is called preventive care
because it involves preventing further disability or reduced functioning.
Based on the transtheoretical model of change, what is the most appropriate response
to a patient who states: "Me, exercise? I haven't done that since junior high gym class,
and I hated it then!"
A) "That's fine. Exercise is bad for you anyway."
B) "OK. I want you to walk 3 miles 4 times a week, and I'll see you in 1 month."
C) "I understand. Can you think of one reason why being more active would be helpful
for you?"
D) "I'd like you to ride your bike 3 times this week and eat at least four fruits and
vegetables every day." - correct answer...✔✔The patient's response indicates that the
patient is in the precontemplation stage and does not intend to change his behavior in
the next 6 months. In this stage the patient is not interested in information about the
behavior and may be defensive when confronted with it. Asking an open-ended
question may stimulate the patient to identify a reason to begin a behavior change.
Nurses are challenged to motivate and facilitate change in health behavior when
working with individuals.

week?"

behavior and provides a specific goal for the patient to begin a walking plan.
A male patient has been laid off from his construction job and has many unpaid bills. He
is going through a divorce from his marriage of 15 years and has been seeing his pastor
to help him through this difficult time. He does not have a primary health care provider
because he has never really been sick and his parents never took him to the physician
when he was a child. Which external variables influence the patient's health practices?
(Select all that apply.)
A) Difficulty paying his bills
B) Seeing his pastor as a means of support
C) Family practice of not routinely seeing a health care provider
D) Stress from the divorce and the loss of a job - correct answer...✔✔External factors
impacting health practices include family beliefs and economic impact. How patients'
families use health care services generally affects their health practices. Their
perceptions of the serious nature of diseases and their history of preventive care
behaviors (or lack of them) influence how patients will think about health. Economic
variables may affect a patient's level of health by increasing the risk for disease and
influencing how or at what point the patient enters the health care system.
