SECTION I — HEALTH PROMOTION, ETHICS, & DEVELOPMENTAL Questions 1 –
THEORY 25
1. According to the Chamberlain School of Nursing, what is the definition of health?
A. The absence of disease or infirmity
B. A dynamic and holistic process in a person's state of being
C. The ability to perform all prescribed medical treatments independently
D. A static condition of optimal physical functioning
CORRECT ANSWER B — A dynamic and holistic process in a person's state of being

social, and spiritual well-being. This definition emphasizes continuous adaptation rather than a static state,
aligning with the holistic nursing philosophy central to Chamberlain's curriculum.
, 2. How do the three levels of disease prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) differ from the six levels of care?
A. Levels of prevention focus only on hospital-based interventions
B. Levels of prevention occur at the level of care services
C. Levels of prevention replace the need for different levels of care
D. Levels of prevention are only relevant for chronic disease management
CORRECT ANSWER B — Levels of prevention occur at the level of care services
RATIONALE The three levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) are implemented across the various levels of care
(primary, preventative, secondary/acute, tertiary/ICU, restorative, continuing care). Prevention strategies
guide interventions at each care level — for example, secondary prevention (disease screening) occurs in
primary care settings, while tertiary prevention (rehabilitation) occurs in restorative care.
3. A community health nurse implements a program to screen adults for hypertension. This is an example of which
level of prevention?
A. Primary prevention — screening for disease RISKS
B. Secondary prevention — screening for diseases
C. Tertiary prevention — lessening effects of disease
D. Quaternary prevention — avoiding overmedicalization
CORRECT ANSWER B — Secondary prevention — screening for diseases
RATIONALE Secondary prevention focuses on early detection of disease through screening (hypertension, cancer,
diabetes) to enable prompt intervention. Primary prevention addresses risk factors before disease develops;
tertiary prevention minimizes disability from established disease.
4. A patient who had a stroke is participating in rehabilitation to regain mobility. This represents which level of
prevention?
A. Primary prevention
B. Secondary prevention
C. Tertiary prevention
D. Primordial prevention
CORRECT ANSWER C — Tertiary prevention
RATIONALE Tertiary prevention aims to lessen the effects of established disease, prevent complications, and maximize
quality of life through rehabilitation, disease management programs, and supportive care. Stroke
rehabilitation is a classic tertiary prevention intervention.

(supporting patient rights and access), caregiver (direct care delivery), researcher (evidence-based practice
integration), and consultant (expert guidance for patients and interprofessional teams).
