Give an example of each. - The three levels of prevention in health promotion are: primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it occurs, such as immunization or smoking cessation. Secondary prevention aims to detect and treat disease or injury early, such as screening tests or antibiotics. Tertiary prevention aims to reduce the complications and disability from disease or injury, such as rehabilitation or palliative care. 4. What are the six steps of the nursing process? How do they relate to health assessment? - The six steps of the nursing process are: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation, and revision. Assessment is the first and ongoing step that involves collecting and analyzing data about the patient's health status. Diagnosis is the second step that involves identifying the patient's actual or potential health problems based on the assessment data. Planning is the third step that involves setting goals and outcomes for the patient's care based on the diagnosis. Implementation is the fourth step that involves carrying out the planned interventions to achieve the goals and outcomes. Evaluation is the fifth step that involves measuring the effectiveness of the interventions and comparing them with the expected outcomes. Revision is the sixth step that involves modifying the plan of care based on the evaluation results.
