levels of prevention - ANS-compose a health intervention framework applied to the
stages of health and disease for individuals ang groups. the levels are:
priary: the prevention of disease and promotion of health
secondary: early diagnosis and treatment
tertiary: limits negative ffects of disease and restores function
population - ANS-the total number of people living in a specific geographic area.
subpopulation - ANS-consists of people experiencing a specific health condition;
engaging in behaviors that have potential to negatively affect health; or sharing a
common risk factor ro risk exposure, or experiencing an emerging health threat or risk
, population-based practice - ANS-focuses on the population as a whole to determine it
spriority needs
public health - ANS-refers to all organized measures (whter pubic or prive) to prevent
disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole
public health nursing - ANS-focuses on population health throughout continuous

2. participation in :
organizing, delivery, and financing of healthcare
developing health resources that are directed at helping individuals and communities

providing for the ehalth of the public through use of preventive and enviornental

participating in development of national policies and regulations
To be population based, public health nursing practice should meet five criteria - ANS-1.
focus on entire populations possessing similar health concerns or characteristics
2. be guided by an assessment of population health status that is determined through a

3. consider all broad determinants of health
4. consider all levels of prevention, with a preference for primary prevention
