    A nurse is conducting a workshop on the importance of interprofessional collaboration. Which of the following is included in the tertiary prevention phase in interprofessional care?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Family planning: This is primary prevention, aimed at preventing unwanted pregnancies and promoting reproductive health. B. Diabetes screening: Screening is secondary prevention, identifying disease early to prevent progression. C. Physical therapy: Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and restoration of function after disease or injury has occurred. Physical therapy helps clients regain mobility and prevent complications in chronic or post-acute conditions. D. Nutrition counseling: Nutrition counseling can be primary or secondary prevention depending on the context, but it is not tertiary unless focused on managing existing disease complications.
