Question Stem
A 6-month-old arrives for a well visit. The parent asks the nurse
why primary care visits are necessary when the infant seems
healthy. Which best explains the role of primary care in
pediatrics?
Options
A. Primary care visits are primarily for diagnosing acute illness
only.
B. Primary care coordinates preventive services, anticipatory
,guidance, and developmental surveillance.
C. Primary care replaces the need for public health and
specialty services.
D. Primary care focuses only on immunizations and growth
measurements.
Correct Answer
B
Rationales
• Correct (B): Primary care in pediatrics includes prevention,
anticipatory guidance, developmental surveillance, and
care coordination, not just treatment. It addresses health
promotion and early identification of problems.
• Incorrect (A): Primary care is not limited to diagnosing
acute illness; it emphasizes prevention and longitudinal
care.
• Incorrect (C): Primary care complements, but does not
replace, public health or specialty services; coordination
across systems is essential.
• Incorrect (D): Immunizations and growth are important
but are only part of comprehensive primary care.
Teaching Point
Primary care delivers preventive care, developmental
surveillance, and family-centered coordination.

Ch. 1 — Primary Care Versus Primary Prevention
Question Stem
A clinic team reviews services to ensure both primary care and
primary prevention are provided. Which intervention best
represents primary prevention rather than primary care
service?
Options
A. Developmental screening at 9 months.
B. Counseling families about safe sleep to prevent SIDS.
C. Managing iron deficiency anemia after lab confirmation.
D. Referring a toddler with recurrent otitis media to ENT.
Correct Answer
B
Rationales
• Correct (B): Counseling about safe sleep is a preventative
action aimed at preventing disease/injury before it occurs
— classic primary prevention.
, • Incorrect (A): Developmental screening is part of primary
care surveillance to detect existing or emerging problems.
• Incorrect (C): Treating iron deficiency is secondary/tertiary
care after identification of a condition.
• Incorrect (D): Referral for recurrent disease management
is care coordination, not primary prevention.
Teaching Point
Primary prevention prevents disease/injury before onset (e.g.,
safety counseling).
