What type of prevention focuses on preventing the health problem? Examples: immunizations,
counseling about safety, injury, and disease prevention
Primary prevention
What type of prevention focuses on detecting disease in early, asymptomatic, or preclinical state
to minimize impact?
Examples: screening tests, such as BO check, mammography, colonoscopy Secondary
prevention
What type of prevention focuses on minimizing negative disease-induced outcomes?
Examples: In established disease, adjusting therapy to avoid further target organ damage.
Potentially viewed as a failure of primary prevention
Tertiary prevention
ACEI/ARB use poses a ________ risk, especially with reduced GFR, overdiuresis and/or under
hydration. hyperkalemia
,The cardiac exam features in _________ include the presence of a holosystolic murmur with a
blowing quality that is typically Gr II-III/VI with a predictable pattern of radiation to the left
axilla
Mitral regurgitation

elevated RDW in primary care? Small cells are seen in this type of anemia due to insufficient
hemoglobin. All values decreased: HGB, HCT, RBC, MCV, MCHC **RDW is increased** Next
test is ferritin for iron stores, add lead testing in younger children
