    The nurse is preparing a community outreach program on primary disease prevention. Which topic should the nurse plan to include in this event?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A rationale: Domestic violence assistance is an important topic, but it falls under secondary and tertiary prevention rather than primary disease prevention, which is the focus of this community outreach program. Primary prevention aims to prevent the disease from occurring in the first place, while domestic violence assistance addresses an existing issue. Choice B rationale: Blood pressure screening is valuable for early detection of hypertension, but it also falls under secondary prevention. Primary prevention focuses on preventing the onset of diseases through measures such as immunizations, health education, and lifestyle modifications. Choice D rationale: Outreach for support group information is essential for clients with chronic conditions or specific needs. However, it is not primarily related to preventing diseases at the population level, which is the primary goal of this community outreach program. This topic may be more relevant to secondary and tertiary prevention efforts.
