Primary prevention
✔✔is instituted before disease becomes established by removing the
causes or increasing resistance. The goal of intervention during this phase is
to modify risk factors to avoid the onset of disease and prevent pathologic
processes from occurring
Secondary prevention
✔✔is undertaken in cases of latent (hidden) disease. Although the patient
may be asymptomatic, the disease process can be detected by medical
tests. Secondary prevention may be directed at individuals who are at risk
for complications. The goal for health intervention during this phase is early
detection and diagnosis of health problems before patients exhibit
symptoms of disease
Tertiary prevention
✔✔also known as the treatment or rehabilitation stage of preventive care, is
implemented when a condition or illness is permanent and irreversible. The
aim of care is to reduce the number and impact of complications and
disabilities resulting from a disease or medical condition.
Illness
✔✔is a state of health characterized by decreased or impaired abilities to
engage in physical or mental functioning that was previously experienced
,Stage 1 of Illness model
✔✔(Symptom experience) of Suchman's model, a clinical manifestation of
disease is experienced, and the person acknowledges that something is
wrong and seeks a cure. The outcome of stage I is that the person accepts
the reality of symptoms and decides to take action in seeking care.
Stage II of Illness model
✔✔(Assumption of the sick role), the person decides that the illness is
genuine and that care is necessary. This stage gives an individual
permission to act sick and to be excused temporarily from typical social and
personal obligations. The results of this stage are either acceptance of the
sick role or rejection of its necessity.
Stage III of Illness model
✔✔(Medical care contact), professional advice from health care providers
is sought by the individual. A professional health care provider identifies and
validates the illness and legitimizes the sick role. During this stage, the
condition still may be denied, or the patient may seek additional medical
care or may accept the adverse condition, the medical diagnostic authority,
and the plan for treatment.
Stage IV of Illness model
✔✔(Dependent patient role), the person, who is designated as a patient,
usually undergoes treatment. During this stage, patients often feel
dependent on others and may experience ambivalent or fearful thoughts
that cause them to reject treatment, the advice of health care providers, and
the illness. More often, care is accepted and administered to an ambivalent
patient. In this stage, the sick individual has a significant need to be
educated and provided with emotional support.
,Stage V of Illness model
✔✔(Perceived recovery), the patient abandons the sick role and resumes
usual tasks and roles to the greatest degree possible. Some people do not
willingly give up the sick role; they begin to view themselves as chronically
ill, or they malinger in the health care setting, acting sick for secondary gain.
Patients with permanent disabilities may require therapy to assist them in
making adjustments necessary for performing activities of daily living
(ADLs)

✔✔moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 30 minutes 5 or more
days per week. As an alternative, adults can participate in vigorous-intensity
physical activity for at least 20 minutes 3 or more days per week.
How should nurses cope with adolescents?
✔✔Nurses should stress the importance of parental or adult supervision of
adolescent health care. Nurses need to openly discuss family lifestyle and
preventive health issues with each family member. Supporting families and
assisting parents with coping techniques when dealing with devastating
illness or tragedy is a vital aspect of nursing care.
