Question 1 of 5
A patient is admitted to a rehabilitation facility following stroke. The patient has right-sided paralysis and is unable to speak. The patient will be receiving physical therapy and speech therapy. Which level of preventive care is the patient receiving?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tertiary prevention. Tertiary prevention focuses on managing and improving the quality of life for individuals with existing health conditions to prevent further complications. In this case, the patient is already experiencing the effects of a stroke with right-sided paralysis and speech difficulties.
Therefore, the physical therapy and speech therapy aim to prevent further deterioration, improve function, and enhance the patient's quality of life.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect:
B: Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of health problems before they occur through education and promotion of healthy lifestyles.
C: Health Promotion focuses on empowering individuals to adopt healthy behaviors to prevent disease and enhance well-being, but it does not specifically address an existing condition like in this case.
D: Secondary prevention involves early detection and treatment of a disease to prevent its progression, which is not the primary focus for the patient in this scenario.
