CMM 551 quiz 1 STUDY GUIDE
primary prevntion definition An intervention implemented before there is evidence of a disease or injury
secondary prevention definition An intervention implemented after a disease has began but before it is
symptomatic
Tertiary prevention definition An intervention implemented after a disease or injury is established
primary intervention intent reduce or eliminate causative risk factors (risk reduction)
secondary prevention intent early identification (through screening) and treatment
tertiary prevention intent prevent sequelae (stop bad things from getting worse)
Primary prevention NAS example prevent addiction from occurring or prevent pregnancy
screen pregnant women for substance use during prenatal visits and
secondary prevention NAS example
refer for treatment
tertiary prevention NAS example treat addicted women or treat babies with NAS
, example: immunization programs
routine primary prevention:
identifies modifiable risk and protection factors, with strategies to
minimize the former and enhance the latter.
routine screening for major forms of cancer
routine secondary prevention
aims to reduce progression of a mental health disorder, through
screening, early identification and brief treatment
universal prevention strategies are aimed at the general population
Primary prevention - Universal
groups without regard to risk
prevention
Primary prevention- Selective Selective prevention programs target individuals that have elevated risks
prevention
indicated prevention activities serve individuals with early indicators
primary prevention- indicated
of a problem but they do not meet all of the criteria for a
prevention
disorder
focuses on improving functioning, minimizing impact of an illness,
Tertiary prevention and helping to prevent or delay further complications for people
with mental health disorders and illnesses
1. serotonin
2. norepinephrine
6 key neurotransmitter systems 3. dopamine
targeted by psychotropic drugs: 4. acetylcholine
5. glutamate
6. GABA (y-aminobutyric acid)
begins with an electrical process by which neurons send electrical
beginning of neurotransmission
impulses from one part of the cell to another part of the same
cell via their axons
communication between neurons communication between all these neurons at synapses is chemical, not
electrical
An electrical impulse in the first neuron is converted to a
first stage of chemical chemical signal at the synapse between it and a second neuron, in
neurotransmission a process known as excitation-secretion coupling
not exclusively in one direction, from the presynaptic axon terminal
to a second postsynaptic neuron
excitation-secretion coupling occurs
predominately in: It is an electrical impulse in the first- or presynaptic - neuron is
converted into a chemical signal at the synapse by a process known
