The Quality Improvement Team is putting a ‘Fall Risk’ sign on patient doors, providing non-skid socks, conducting frequent rounds of patient rooms, and using color-coded wristbands.
Which of the following actions will apply?

Choice A rationale
Secondary prevention involves early detection and treatment of disease to prevent progression. Demonstrating how to administer insulin is not an example of secondary prevention.
Choice B rationale
Disease prevention is a broad term that encompasses all levels of prevention. It is not specific enough to describe the nurse’s action in this scenario.
Choice C rationale
Tertiary prevention involves managing and improving the quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases. Demonstrating how to administer insulin to a diabetic patient is an example of tertiary prevention, as it helps the patient manage their condition and prevent complications.
Choice D rationale
Primary prevention involves preventing the onset of disease through measures such as vaccination and health education. Administering insulin to a diabetic patient is not an example of primary prevention.

Choice A rationale
The affective domain involves emotions and attitudes, which is not the primary focus when teaching a newly diagnosed diabetic patient about their condition.
Choice B rationale
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and understanding. Teaching a newly diagnosed diabetic patient involves providing information about the disease, its management, and self- care practices, which falls under the cognitive domain.
Choice C rationale
The psychomotor domain involves physical skills, which is not the primary focus in this context.
Choice D rationale
The behavioral domain is not a recognized learning domain in this context. The correct domain for teaching a newly diagnosed diabetic patient is cognitive.
