The population health nurse is working in a methadone clinic. What type of intervention does this best describe?

1. Health promotion.
2. Health restoration.
3. Illness prevention.
4. Pharmacological intervention therapy.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Harm reduction is a health promotion approach to the control of substance abuse. It is an approach to drug use that focuses on moderation of substance use and minimization of its harmful effects. Providing methadone to heroin users is not a health restoration or illness prevention. Pharmacological intervention therapy is not an identified treatment approach to substance abuse.
