Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about prevention and health promotion.
Hints
- Two options confuse the levels or deny their distinctness.
- Stopping disease from ever occurring is PRIMARY, and the levels are not interchangeable.
Show the answer
- A. Secondary prevention relies on early detection, such as screening.
- B. An intervention can protect people who never learn it existed.
- E. Health promotion, on the Ottawa view, is as much a planning question as a clinical one.
Why
Primary acting before onset, secondary's early detection, and the Ottawa Charter's societal framing are all true. Stopping disease from ever occurring is primary (not tertiary), and the levels are not interchangeable - so those two are false.
