💠 Secondary prevention focuses on early detection of disease before symptoms appear to begin timely intervention.

💠 Screening for blood glucose levels helps detect prediabetes or undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, particularly in high-risk groups.

💠 This allows for lifestyle modifications or early treatment that can prevent complications.

💠 Exercise demonstration and cooking lessons are primary prevention (prevent disease onset), and stress management supports ongoing control, not early detection.

💎 The age-specific mortality rate calculates the number of deaths among individuals within a specific age group, such as school-aged children.

💎 This method helps identify trends and target interventions based on age.

💎 Prevalence rate measures existing cases, not deaths.

💎 Cause-specific and case fatality rates focus on specific diseases, not age group mortality.

💖 A core principle of client advocacy is respecting the client's right to make informed decisions, even if they differ from the nurse’s perspective.

💖 The nurse’s role is to provide unbiased support and information, not to coerce or criticize.

💖 Offering continued availability shows compassionate and nonjudgmental care.

💖 Involving family without permission or reporting noncompliance violates ethical principles and autonomy.

🤎 A client who prefers verbal instruction over reading may have limited literacy or difficulty understanding written materials.

🤎 Recognizing this allows the nurse to adapt teaching strategies to visual or auditory formats.

🤎 This is a barrier to effective self-care and decision-making, especially with medication or written discharge instructions.

🤎 The other statements reflect personal preferences or assistive needs (e.g., glasses), not a barrier to comprehension.

🛡️ Condoms act as a physical barrier that prevents infectious agents from leaving the body, effectively blocking the portal of exit (e.g., semen, vaginal fluids).

🛡️ This is a critical intervention in primary prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

🛡️ Immunizations prevent disease by enhancing host resistance, and antibiotics and antivirals treat infections after transmission.

🛡️ Condoms are a real-time, direct method for preventing spread at the point of contact.
