health condition.
2. Primary Prevention Examples: Education about not smoking
Immunizations
Education and a
balanced diet

3. Secondary Prevention: Screening to identify diseases in the earliest
stages, before the onset of signs and symtpoms
4. Secondary Prevention Examples:
Mammogram Screening BP Screening
Regular health Exams
5. Tertiary Prevention: Managing disease post diagnosis to slow or stop
disease progression through
,6. Tertiary prevention examples: Cardiac
rehabilitation Diabetic foot care
Chemotherapy
7. Social determinants of health: the non-medical factors that influence

12. Active Immunity: Results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the
immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Active immunity can be
acquired through natural immunity or vaccine-induced immunity.
13. Natural Immunity: o is acquired from exposure to the disease organism
through infection with the actual disease.
14. Vaccine-induce immunity: is acquired through the introduction of a
killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.
, 15. Passive immunity: is provided when a person is given antibodies to a
disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system.
16. example of passive immunity: o Babies acquire passive immunity
through their mothers during pregnancy
o people can get passive immunity through antibody-containing blood products such
as immune globulin
17. Advantage of active immunity: o Either way, if an immune person
comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will
recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it. Active
immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.
18. Advantage of passive immunity: o The major advantage to passive
immunity is that protection is
immediate, whereas active immunity takes time (usually several weeks) to develop.
However, passive immunity lasts only for a few weeks or months. Only active
immunity is long-lasting.
