parent during a clinic visit. Which statement by the parent
indicates correct understanding?

disease.”
D. “Primary prevention replaces the need for regular well-child
visits.”
Correct Answer: B

(e.g., immunizations, anticipatory guidance).
• A is incorrect because primary prevention is not
treatment.
• C is incorrect because primary care serves all children.
