Practice Question

A nurse in a public clinic is planning a health fair for clients in the community who are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following activities should the nurse include for secondary prevention?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Screening for blood sugar levels

Rationale:

💠 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.
