Cevap

Conducting annual audiometric testing to detect early signs of hearing loss.
Secondary prevention focuses on the early detection and prompt treatment of a disease or condition to halt its progression. Health screenings, such as audiometric testing for early hearing loss, mammograms, and colonoscopies, are classic examples of secondary prevention.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Recall the definitions of the three levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Primary prevention stops disease before it occurs; secondary prevention focuses on early detection (screening); tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and management of an existing disease.
Accurately defining the levels of prevention is the foundation for classifying nursing interventions.
2
Analyze each intervention provided in the options to determine its primary goal.
Ergonomics and vaccines prevent disease (primary). Modified work schedules manage recovery (tertiary). Audiometric testing screens for an issue (secondary).
Matching the goal of the intervention to the definition of the prevention levels reveals the correct answer.
