Quesrtion1. At the primary prevention level, health promotion is focused on maintaining and promoting health and this might comprise of measures such that the person does not get sick anymore. Primary prevention is seen as active where the person is doing something about preventing the injury or disease such as wearing the helmet while riding he bicycle or even brushing the teeth to avoid contracting the disease. Primary prevention takes place before the start or onset of the disease and this includes preventable treatments including vaccination and wellness exams to prevent the development of illness (Soames Job, 2018). Additionally, secondary prevention focuses more on the early detection of the illness and the treatment before, it progresses or develops and leads to irreversible damage. Through education in form, of health promotion the care provider implements the measure to prevent further injury or complication. For instance, an individual maybe 5 pounds overweight and have mild hypertension, he or she might be screened for heart condition by the PCP such that heart failure may be prevented. The primary objective of secondary prevention is to stop the progression of the early stage of the illness as well as comorbidities from recurring. Further, tertiary prevention takes place when the disease process has resulted in the permanent damage of some form. The key goal of this level is to aid the patient to attain some balance of normalcy as they resume their normal role in society (Jang, & Lee, 2017).
Question 2. At the level of primary prevention, patient education is the central concern because of the client as a stable and healthy condition. Some of the recommendations for preventive education at the primary level include yoga, spinning, healthy cooking, and weight lifting (Diener et al. 2019). At the secondary prevention level, the nurse provides the educational needs to the patient so that early detection of diseases is mitigated. For instance, all adults may be recommended to go for screening. At the tertiary level, patient teaching must be specific and then target the health promotion goal that is specific to the nursing diagnosis.
