Consuelo undergoes breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy.This is an example of ______.

A) primary prevention
B) secondary prevention
C) tertiary prevention
D) health promotion

Tertiary prevention refers to interventions that aim to manage and rehabilitate individuals who have already developed a disease or disability, with the goal of minimizing the impact of the condition and improving quality of life. Breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy is an example of tertiary prevention, as it is a way to manage the impact of breast cancer surgery and restore physical appearance and function. Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of a disease, while secondary prevention focuses on early detection and treatment of a disease before it becomes symptomatic. Health promotion involves actions that support and promote better health outcomes for individuals and communities, but may not necessarily involve specific disease prevention or management strategies.
