Question

which activities are classified as prevention components of community health nursing practice?
select all that apply.
□ treating disorders
□ evaluating a nursing action
□ anticipating and averting problems
□ discovering problems early to minimize potential disability
□ enabling people to exercise control over individual well - being

Explanation:

• "Treating disorders" is curative, not preventive.
• "Evaluating a nursing action" is part of the nursing process (evaluation phase) and not a prevention component.
• "Anticipating and averting problems" is a core preventive activity as it stops problems before they occur.
• "Discovering problems early to minimize potential disability" is secondary prevention (early detection to reduce impact), which is part of prevention in community health nursing.
• "Enabling people to exercise control over individual well - being" empowers individuals to prevent health issues by taking control of their health, so it's a preventive component.

Answer:

C. Anticipating and averting problems
D. Discovering problems early to minimize potential disability
E. Enabling people to exercise control over individual well - being
