Primary prevention is true prevention; it precedes disease or dysfunction and is applied to clients considered physically and emotionally healthy. Primary prevention aimed at health promotion includes health education programs, immunizations, and physical and nutritional fitness activities. This option is the best example because it facilitates the availability of a service to clients to whom it might otherwise be unavailable.
This is a good example of primary care, but it is not the best one available because it facilitates a service that is already available.
While this is an example of primary care, it is not the best because it does not ensure the facilita-tion of the needed service.
