Define and discuss prevention, mentioning primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and giving examples of each

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: People usually present for treatment when they already have symptoms. Researchers have identified some of the risk factors that might lead to prevention of problems before they begin (primary prevention), limiting the duration and severity of the problem once it has begun (secondary prevention), and/or limiting the long-term effects of problems by preventing relapse (tertiary prevention). Give examples (e.g., tertiary—help people maintain drug therapies).
