Nursing students who help to set up an immunization clinic are initiating which level of prevention, according to Neuman’s model?

1. Educational
2. Primary
3. Secondary
4. Tertiary

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Educational is not one of Neuman’s levels of prevention.
Rationale 2: Primary prevention focuses on protecting the normal line of defense. Providing immunizations would be doing just that–protecting the body’s normal response to disease by helping it to build antibodies.
Rationale 3: Secondary prevention focuses on strengthening internal lines of resistance.
Rationale 4: Tertiary prevention focuses on readaptation and stability.
