A patient gets medicine to treat a diagnosed illness.
D
A patient wants to know how to make his flu symptoms go away sooner.

Explanation

Primary prevention aims to stop a disease from developing in the first place, such as by promoting vaccination. Learning about a vaccine is therefore an action at the primary prevention stage. Finding the cause of pain is diagnostic, while treating a diagnosed illness or relieving flu symptoms happens after illness has occurred.
