A health promotion program was offered at a local school. Immediately after the program, the nurse gave a posttest to evaluate what the children learned.
The nurse was measuring:

As part of developing and collaborating with a client on a health plan, it is important to assess the client’s opinions and values.

This helps to ensure that the health plan is tailored to the client’s needs and preferences.

Choice A is not correct because intimidating the client with fear is not an effective way to develop a health plan.

Choice B is not correct because choosing barriers to assess the client’s behavioral change endurance is not a step in developing a health plan.

Choice C is not correct because outcomes should be defined in order to measure the effectiveness of the health plan.

Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury, and increasing resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur.

Applying sunscreen prior to walking on the beach is an example of primary prevention because it helps prevent skin damage from sun exposure.

Choice A is incorrect because tertiary prevention aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects.

Choice B is incorrect because secondary prevention aims to reduce the impact of a disease or injury that has already occurred.

Choice D is incorrect because maximizing dietary intake is not related to the application of sunscreen.
