OK
OK The correct answer is C. Primary prevention requires implementation of a procedure when the disease is not present even in a presymptomatic phase. Routine immunization of individuals at risk, whether children or adults, is primary prevention. Isolation of disease contacts is tertiary prevention (choice A). Mammography is a form of secondary prevention (choice B) where the early or presymptomatic recognition of disease is involved. Visual screening is a screening test and a form of secondary prevention (choice D). Occult blood testing in stool is a form of secondary prevention as well (choice E). |
