Question

select all of the following descriptions which describe the meaning of disease prevention. actions focused only on individual health improvement actions focusing on preventing injury or death actions slowing the progression of a disease or its impacts actions taken to stop the development of a disease

Explanation:

1. "Actions focused only on individual health improvement": Disease prevention can involve population - level efforts (like public health campaigns for vaccination) and not just individual - focused actions, so this is incorrect.
2. "Actions focusing on preventing injury or death": Disease prevention includes preventing the occurrence and progression of diseases, which in turn prevents injury and death associated with the disease, so this is correct.
3. "Actions slowing the progression of a disease or its impacts": This is part of secondary or tertiary prevention (e.g., using medication to slow the progression of diabetes), so this is correct.
4. "Actions taken to stop the development of a disease": This is primary prevention (e.g., vaccination to stop the development of a vaccine - preventable disease), so this is correct.

Answer:

Actions focusing on preventing injury or death, Actions slowing the progression of a disease or its impacts, Actions taken to stop the development of a disease
