    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

    Rationale: A. Diabetes screening: Screening is a form of primary or secondary prevention, aimed at early detection or prevention of disease, rather than tertiary prevention. It helps identify risk factors before complications develop. B. Family planning: Family planning is a primary prevention strategy, focusing on preventing unintended pregnancies and promoting reproductive health. It does not address the management of existing conditions or complications. C. Nutrition counseling: Nutrition counseling can serve as primary or secondary prevention depending on context, such as preventing chronic disease or managing early-stage conditions. It is not typically considered tertiary prevention. D. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is a tertiary prevention intervention because it aims to improve function, reduce complications, and enhance quality of life for clients who already have a health condition. It helps manage existing disease and prevent further disability.
