Which of the following is an example of a primary source of information that a nurse would refer to in developing a health promotion program?

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.

The level of health literacy in the group should be an initial major concern for these nurses.

Health literacy refers to the ability of individuals to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.

In a low socioeconomic community, the level of health literacy may be lower than average, which can impact the effectiveness of a health promotion program.

By understanding the level of health literacy in the group, the nurses can tailor their program to meet the needs and abilities of their clients.

Choice B is not the answer because computer resources and access to the internet for health promotion may not be a major concern initially.

Choice C is not the answer because the primary communicable diseases that are present may not be a major concern initially.

Choice D is not the answer because the number of health professionals in the community may not be a major concern initially.
