Question

4. A community health nurse is working in a weight loss clinic assisting clients who achieved their goal weight, in developing a maintenance plan. This plan will include a healthy diet and exercise regime. This is an example of which level of prevention?

a. Primary

b. Secondary

c. Tertiary

d. Some primary as well as secondary

Answer 1

ANSWER: D - some primary as well as secondary

Goal weight is different from ideal bmi

Goal weight is the weight doctor or the client himself set it to achieve

Ideal BMI is calculated by height & weight

So here some clients might have reached there ideal bmi & some might have just completed their goal weight

Primary prevention means preventing the risk factor which might cause a disease

Secondary prevention means the disease processes has initiated already& we need to prevent it from getting worse
