Disease prevention is a broad term that encompasses all levels of prevention. It is not specific enough to describe the nurse’s action in this scenario.
Choice C rationale
Tertiary prevention involves managing and improving the quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases. Demonstrating how to administer insulin to a diabetic patient is an example of tertiary prevention, as it helps the patient manage their condition and prevent complications.
Choice D rationale
Primary prevention involves preventing the onset of disease through measures such as vaccination and health education. Administering insulin to a diabetic patient is not an example of primary prevention.
