A client is being seen in the clinic for the final follow-up appointment after an extensive course of rehabilitation. According to Neuman's model, which level of intervention should the nurse realize this patient is experiencing?
1. Primary prevention
2. Secondary prevention
3. Resistant prevention
4. Tertiary prevention
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Primary prevention focuses on protecting the normal line of defense and strengthening the flexible line of defense.
Rationale 2: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance, reducing the reaction, and increasing resistance factors.
Rationale 3: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance, reducing the reaction, and increasing resistance factors.
Rationale 4: According to Neuman's model, nursing interventions focus on retaining or maintaining system stability and are carried out on three preventive levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Tertiary prevention focuses on readaptation and stability and protects reconstitution or return to wellness following treatment. A final follow-up appointment following extensive rehabilitation would be an example of tertiary prevention.
