Cevap
The primary prevention strategies are administering the HPV vaccine, teaching the seminar on vaping, and demonstrating bicycle safety techniques.
Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs by preventing exposures to hazards, altering unhealthy behaviors, and increasing resistance to disease. Administering vaccines, providing education on the dangers of substance use, and teaching physical safety techniques all act proactively to prevent the onset of illness or injury, making them correct primary prevention strategies.
