The nurse educator provides developmental testing for kindergarten through third-grade students. Which level of prevention is the nurse performing?

The correct answer is D: Primary prevention. The nurse educator is conducting developmental testing for kindergarten through third-grade students to identify any potential issues early on, thereby preventing future developmental delays or problems. Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of a disease or condition by promoting health and wellness through early detection and intervention. Community (A), Secondary (B), and Tertiary (C) prevention levels focus on different stages of disease progression or management, not on early detection and prevention like primary prevention.
