developmental theorists, physical assessment, lab values, and psychopharmacology for NR 668
Week 1.



Questions 1–50: Prevention, Ethics, Theories & Leadership


1 Primary Prevention is best defined as:
A Prevent the occurrence of new cases — e.g., stress management classes
B Screening and early identification — e.g., phone hotlines
C Prevent recurrence and disability — e.g., rehabilitation
D Universal measures like childhood immunizations only

Correct Answer: A. Primary prevention aims to prevent new cases from occurring
— intervening before the disease develops. Stress management classes,
immunizations, and health education are examples.
Rationale: B is secondary prevention. C is tertiary prevention. D is one type of
primary prevention but not the definition. Primary = prevent onset.



2 Secondary Prevention includes:
A Screening, early identification, and treatment — e.g., phone hotlines
B Preventing new cases from occurring
C Rehabilitation and social skills training
D Seat belt laws and helmet requirements

Correct Answer: A. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt
treatment to reduce severity and duration. Phone hotlines, screening programs,
and early intervention services are examples.

Rationale: B is primary prevention. C is tertiary. D is universal primary prevention.
Secondary = early identification and treatment.

, 3 Tertiary Prevention aims to:
A Prevent recurrence and prevent disability — e.g., rehabilitation, social skills
training
B Prevent new cases through education
C Screen for early signs of illness
D Immunize the population against disease

Correct Answer: A. Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing disability, preventing
relapse, and restoring function in those already diagnosed. Rehabilitation, social
skills training, and relapse prevention are examples.
Rationale: B is primary. C is secondary. D is primary. Tertiary = minimize
consequences and prevent recurrence.



4 Universal Prevention examples include:
A Childhood immunizations, seat belt laws, helmets, access to health care
B Interventions aimed at those coming back from war
C Early treatment for those whose symptoms have begun
D Rehabilitation programs for chronic conditions

Correct Answer: A. Universal prevention targets the entire population regardless
of risk — immunizations, safety laws, and healthcare access benefit everyone and
prevent disease broadly.
Rationale: B is selective prevention. C is indicated prevention. D is tertiary.
Universal = everyone.
