Question
which disease prevention level would be most useful when providing care to an ethnically marginalized family without consistent access to health care, where one of the children has diabetes mellitus?
health promotion
primary prevention
secondary prevention
tertiary prevention
Health promotion focuses on overall well - being and disease prevention in general populations. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease from occurring in the first place. Since the child already has diabetes mellitus, these two are not applicable. Secondary prevention is about early detection and treatment to prevent progression of the disease, but the focus here is on a family with limited access to care. Tertiary prevention is for managing and rehabilitating those with an established disease to prevent complications and improve quality of life, which is most relevant when providing care to a family with a child having diabetes and limited access to care.
