A group of nursing students is helping to set up an immunization clinic. In which level of prevention are these students functioning?
1. Educational
2. Primary
3. Secondary
4. Tertiary
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Educational is not one of Neuman's levels of prevention.
Rationale 2: Primary prevention focuses on protecting the normal line of defense. Providing immunizations would be doing just that—protecting the body's normal response to disease by helping it to build antibodies.
Rationale 3: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance.
Rationale 4: Tertiary prevention focuses on readaptation and stability.
