Prevention
Question Stem
A 6-week-old infant presents for the first well-child visit. The
parent asks whether the visit’s purpose is to prevent disease or
to treat problems if they occur. Which statement best describes
the distinction between primary care and primary prevention in
pediatric practice?
Options
A. Primary prevention focuses on diagnosing and treating acute
illnesses; primary care emphasizes community-level policies.
B. Primary care provides continuous, comprehensive family-
centered services; primary prevention specifically targets
actions to prevent disease occurrence.
,C. Primary prevention is the ongoing management of chronic
disease; primary care delivers only immunizations and
screenings.
D. Primary care exclusively treats illness, whereas primary
prevention only provides anticipatory guidance.
Correct Answer
B
Rationales

family-centered, providing assessment, diagnosis,
management, and coordination; primary prevention refers
to actions (e.g., immunizations, counseling) that directly
reduce risk of disease.
• Incorrect (A): Reverses roles—primary prevention does not
focus on diagnosing/treating acute illness.
• Incorrect (C): Primary prevention is not chronic disease
management; primary care includes but is not limited to
immunizations and screenings.
• Incorrect (D): Primary care includes both treatment and
prevention; it is not limited to treating illness.
Teaching Point
Primary care is continuous and family-centered; prevention is
specific actions to reduce risk.

, referrals, and arranges home support best fits the infant’s
