Using Leavell and Clark’s Three Levels of Prevention. How does a nurse use these preventions concerning malnutrition among young children in
a community?
PRIMARY
Malnutrition in young children in the
community may be avoided by preparing
nutritious meals and practicing excellent hand
hygiene, drinking glasses of water, and clean
cookware to avoid food contamination.
Giving them a daily dosage of important
vitamins and minerals
SECONDARY
Dieticians may assist children by providing
them with particular amounts of vitamins and
minerals. They can also assist in determining
the special daily needs of a patient and
specific nutrients to encourage adequate
nutritional intake.
TERTIARY
After the patient is released from the hospital,
the nurse will instruct the family on how to
care for the patient's health, which will help
improve nutrition.
