A nurse is working with a community health care team to devise strategies for preventing violence in the community. Which of the following Interventions is an example of tertiary prevention?

A. The client has gained 4.5 kg (10 lb) over 8 weeks: Weight gain may indicate changes in diet, activity, or medication, but it does not directly suggest a need for physical therapy. A nutritionist or primary care provider might be more appropriate for follow-up.

B. The caregiver reports that recently the client is incontinent of urine during the day:
Urinary incontinence in clients with Alzheimer's is typically addressed by primary care or urology. It may be related to cognitive decline rather than physical impairment, so physical therapy is not the priority referral.

C. The client is unable to climb the stairs to their bedroom: This mobility limitation increases the risk for falls and functional decline. A physical therapist can assess strength, balance, and coordination, and develop a mobility plan or recommend assistive devices or home modifications.

D. The caregiver reports the client needs assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing: This indicates a need for occupational therapy to enhance independence in daily tasks. While physical therapy may support mobility, ADL support is better addressed by an occupational therapist.

A. Disaster prevention: This phase focuses on measures taken to avoid the occurrence of a disaster or minimize its effects, such as reinforcing buildings or implementing early warning systems. Participating in a drill does not prevent a disaster but prepares for response.

B. Disaster response: The response phase involves actions taken during or immediately after a disaster to manage its effects, such as triage, evacuation, or providing emergency care. A drill does not simulate real-time emergency relief but rather anticipates and trains for it.

C. Disaster preparedness: Drills are part of disaster preparedness, which involves planning, training, and educating staff and community members to ensure effective response when a disaster occurs. It allows practice of roles and identification of gaps in emergency plans.

D. Disaster recovery: Recovery includes efforts to restore services, rebuild infrastructure, and support emotional healing after a disaster. Since drills occur before a disaster, they do not represent recovery but proactive planning instead.
