Cevap
The activities that represent secondary prevention are performing vision and hearing evaluations, conducting blood glucose testing, and performing cervical cancer screening.
Secondary prevention focuses on the early detection and prompt treatment of health issues before they become symptomatic or advanced. Routine health screenings, such as vision and hearing evaluations, blood glucose testing, and Papanicolaou (Pap) testing, are prime examples of secondary prevention. They do not stop the initial pathology from starting, but they detect it early enough to improve outcomes.
