The physician has requested that the rape survivor be assessed for post-traumatic stress syndrome.
This is an example of which level of prevention?

Choice A rationale

Vulnerable populations often face barriers such as work schedules interfering with healthcare access. Scheduling flexibility ensures they attend appointments, reducing missed care opportunities and improving outcomes.

Choice B rationale

Obtaining an interpreter ensures communication accuracy for non-English speakers, reducing errors in treatment plans and improving health literacy. This practice adheres to professional standards and client-centered care principles.

Choice C rationale

Assuming all Hispanic immigrants have close-knit families disregards cultural diversity within the group, promoting stereotyping rather than addressing individual client needs. Effective care requires understanding unique circumstances rather than generalized assumptions.

Choice D rationale

Addressing multiple concerns in one visit maximizes efficiency for clients with limited access to healthcare. Comprehensive care reduces follow-up needs, improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations.

Choice A rationale

Bacterial gastroenteritis typically presents with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. While dehydration can lead to symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue, it does not usually cause acute difficulty concentrating or intense thirst without prolonged illness. This condition is more localized to the gastrointestinal system rather than systemic toxicity as seen in pesticide poisoning.

Choice B rationale

Viral illness can lead to nonspecific symptoms like fatigue, headache, and dizziness, but it usually follows a pattern of fever or respiratory symptoms. The acute onset and combination of symptoms such as intense thirst and difficulty concentrating are not characteristic of viral infections. These symptoms suggest a toxic exposure rather than an infectious etiology.

Choice C rationale

Pesticide poisoning often manifests acutely with systemic symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, intense thirst, headache, and difficulty concentrating. These occur due to cholinergic overstimulation or chemical toxicity. Pesticides can affect multiple organ systems and cause central nervous system effects, which align with the symptoms described in the patient.

Choice D rationale

Appendicitis is characterized by localized abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. It does not cause systemic effects such as intense thirst, dizziness, headache, or difficulty concentrating. The symptoms described are more indicative of systemic toxicity rather than localized inflammation.
