Week 3 Discussion - What is the role of behavior change in disease

DQ W3 635

Question 1

What is the role of behavior change in disease maintenance and prevention? What roles do education and healthy behaviors play in the patient’s perception of overall well-being?

Question 2

Identify and differentiate the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention for a chronic medical condition from the pulmonary system within CareOnPoint. In choosing a pulmonary condition, select an age group and determine the immunization schedule that should be assured for health maintenance when dealing with the chronic pulmonary condition. Use current evidenced-based guidelines to make application to the maintenance of well-being to the patient population you selected previously. Refer to the CDC website and the additional lecture in this topic to address the immunizations.
