A nursing student is recalling information about the primary level of prevention. Which statement accurately describes primary prevention?

The statement that describes primary prevention is that it is applied to clients who are physically and emotionally healthy.

Explanation:

If there is no apparent disorder visible in the first examination of the client, it is preferable for a nurse to apply primary prevention until the later stage examinations are done. It is advised that the nurses don't initiate any other treatment other than primary prevention if the client appears physically healthy and mentally sound.
