Nursing students who help to set up an immunization clinic are initiating which level of prevention, according to Neuman's model?
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.
