Rationale 1: Primary prevention is true health promotion and precedes disease or dysfunction.
Rationale 2: Secondary prevention emphasizes early detection of disease and health maintenance for individuals experiencing health problems. This would include providing assessment of the growth and development of children.
Rationale 3: Tertiary prevention begins after an illness, when a defect or disability is fixed, stabilized, or determined to be irreversible.
Rationale 4: Community health is a broad category that includes many facets. It is not a level of prevention.
