ANS: A b 5
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for

5susceptible individuals, in this case by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is

habilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functi

6. A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs of t

ANS: B b 5
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the first
b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
appearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is often called the incu
b 5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5
bation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indi

b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b5 b
and nausea, which are associated with a number of different diseases. Sequela refers to subs
