Cevap

Instructing expectant parents on the correct installation and use of a rear-facing infant car seat.
Primary prevention strategies are interventions designed to prevent the onset of disease or injury entirely. Instructing parents on proper car seat installation is a proactive measure intended to prevent traumatic injury to an infant before a motor vehicle accident ever occurs. This perfectly encapsulates the goal of primary prevention.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Recall the definition of primary prevention.
Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs by preventing exposure to hazards, altering unhealthy behaviors, or increasing resistance to disease.
Understanding the core definition is required to differentiate it from secondary (screening) and tertiary (rehabilitation) prevention.
2
Analyze each option to determine its level of prevention.
Car seat education prevents initial injury (primary). Vision screening detects early disease (secondary). Post-stroke rehabilitation minimizes disability from an existing condition (tertiary). TST screens for exposure (secondary).
Categorizing each intervention allows for the elimination of incorrect choices.
3
Select the option that aligns with primary prevention.
The car seat education is the only intervention that occurs before any health issue or injury has taken place.
This directly answers the stem's question regarding primary disease prevention.
