Public health screening activities in programs are also essential in ensuring this level of prevention is ensured. A good example is organized screening programs targeted at the community.
The third level of prevention, tertiary prevention, involves bother rehabilitative and therapeutic measures once the person already has the symptoms and signs of the disease. Tertiary prevention has several goals, which include preventing damage and pain that may arise from the disease, slowing down the progression of the disease, preventing the disease from causing complications, giving optimum care to people with signs of the disease, and helping those with the disease to live healthy lives afterwards. A quintessential example of tertiary preventive activities includes treating diabetics to prevent complications that occur as a result of the disease such as liver and kidney failure. Other examples are management of patients with chronic heart disease with therapy and medication, physical and occupational therapy as rehabilitation for patients who suffered from accidents and stroke. Counseling of patients is also a form of tertiary prevention since it is aimed at offering high quality and appropriate psychological care.
The tertiary level of prevention in community health nursing involves modifying the risk factors of a disease to assist the patient lose weight, make modifications...
This is done through health promotion activities, rehabilitation, and counseling of patients to prevent possible adverse outcomes of their disease. For a community health nurse, tertiary prevention is aimed at enhancing the quality of life of the patient (Baker, 1992). This can be done by conducting follow-up examples of the patient to identify potential risk factors and disease progression rates, implementing health service organization changes to improve access to better quality of care, referral of patient to specialist clinics and ensuring control of high-risk sites including tattoo parlors that may be sites for contracting diseases.

DiabetesImproving health in a community regarding diabetes requires a multi-level approach that involves primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention efforts. The three priority issues for improving health in a community regarding diabetes are: increasing awareness and education about diabetes prevention and management, improving access to healthy food options and promoting physical activity, and enhancing screening and early detection of diabetes and its complications (Forouhi & Wareham, 2019; Hill-Briggs et al., 2021).At
"Twenty-three million Americans experience workplace bullying within their work lifetimes" (cited in Seagriff, 2010, p. 575). With the economic challenges Americans are facing recently, tensions in the workplace are also on the rise, as employees increasingly worry that their jobs are in jeopardy. This fear over possibly losing their job means many employees will not risk reporting bullying to their employers. Interdependence conflicts, as mentioned, are another common type of
One possible explanation for the differences observed in the studies could be that the strengths of the chlorhexidine solution were different. It could also be that over time more effective techniques have been developed in the application of the solution, as the results do appear to improve over time. There are limitations to the methodology of the study which are centered on the use of secondary data for analysis. The
One of the fundamental methods of combating obesity, as learned through the aforementioned studies, is to present an awareness of the habits, behaviours, and symptoms of its presence as early as possible, within the context of a comprehensive program which provides prudent action for the alleviation of such symptoms. Schools need to take specific actions to educate students as to the pitfalls and poor nutrition and the benefits of salutary
102). Therefore, there is a need to establish reliability and validity levels for the methods used by these researchers. Data analysis. The analysis of the data included the following: 1. Calculation of body mass indexes (BMI) calculated from measured weight and height at baseline and again one year following enrollment in the intervention program, which is a standard approach to determining overweight and obesity levels (Singh 2004; Klesgas, Klem & Klesges
According to Greenwood (2008), researchers have recognized 12 "established" delinquency-prevention programs that have shown remarkable improvement in their participants. They also identified an additional 20-30 that demonstrated promise. Shifting towards evidence-based practices derived from information gathered from successful programs can help increase the likelihood of success in other programs through implementation of effective standardized practice. Evidence from school-based programs show remarkable prevention in many areas. "Successful school-based programs can
