Ch. 1 — Pediatric Primary Care — Primary Care Versus Primary
Prevention
Question Stem
A 6-month-old attends well-child care. The nurse practitioner
(NP) emphasizes routine immunizations, anticipatory guidance
about choking hazards, and monthly developmental
surveillance. Which statement best differentiates primary care
from primary prevention in pediatric practice?
,Options
A. Primary care focuses on acute illness care; primary
prevention focuses exclusively on immunizations.
B. Primary care provides continuous, comprehensive services
for a child and family; primary prevention reduces risk before
disease occurs.
C. Primary care is episodic and reactive; primary prevention is
only delivered by public health agencies.
D. Primary care is limited to screening tests; primary prevention
involves only parental education.
Correct Answer
B
Rationale
Correct: Primary care in pediatrics is continuous,
comprehensive, and family-centered, while primary prevention
includes actions (like immunizations and anticipatory guidance)
that reduce risk before illness.
A: Incorrect — Primary care includes prevention as well as acute
care, not only acute illness.
C: Incorrect — Primary care is not solely episodic/reactive and
primary prevention is delivered by primary care providers as
well.
D: Incorrect — Primary care goes beyond screening and primary
prevention includes clinical interventions (e.g., immunizations)
and education.
,Teaching Point
Primary care offers continuous family-centered care; prevention
reduces risks before disease.

Providers
Question Stem
A parent asks why a pediatric primary care practice includes
physicians, nurse practitioners, and behavioral health clinicians.
Which response best explains the interprofessional role mix in
pediatric primary care?
Options
A. Interprofessional teams exist mainly for billing flexibility and
scheduling.
B. Teams provide comprehensive, coordinated care addressing
physical, developmental, and psychosocial needs.
C. Multiple providers are necessary because each provider can
only manage single illnesses.
D. Behavioral health clinicians are only present in specialty
centers, not primary care.
, Correct Answer
B
Rationale
Correct: Pediatric primary care employs interprofessional teams
to meet the child’s physical, developmental, and psychosocial
needs and to coordinate care across settings.
A: Incorrect — Team composition aims at care quality, not
primarily billing.
C: Incorrect — Providers collaborate to address the whole child,
not because each handles single conditions only.
D: Incorrect — Behavioral health integration often occurs within
primary care settings.
Teaching Point
Interprofessional teams enable coordinated, whole-child care in
primary care settings.
