Question 2 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following is most likely to occur during the tertiary level of disease prevention?

Answer
A
A patient visits the doctor to find what is causing her headache.
B
A patient goes for chemotherapy treatments to treat cancer.
C
A patient attends a health seminar to learn more about wellness strategies.
D
A patient visits the doctor to learn about ways to avoid the flu.

Explanation

Tertiary prevention focuses on treating an established disease and limiting its complications or effects. Chemotherapy treats cancer that has already developed, so it is an example of tertiary prevention. Learning wellness strategies or how to avoid the flu is primary prevention, while investigating a headache is diagnosis rather than tertiary prevention.
