I would choose secondary prevention: because diabetes in the family is a risk factor that has been identified; so the recommendation for healthy diet and exercises are implemented specifically for his/her high risk condition.

I would have to agree with secondary prevention because of early detection of the disease, and because of the risk factors

See, I would have gone with primary, because it is part of the teaching that nurses do before someone is known to have a problem. I'm probably wrong though. : )

the answer was primary prevention because of the risk factors in his family...and i picked disease prevention which is primary prevention...because he isn't diagnosed with it yet

I don't think there is a difference between disease prevention and primary prevention. It takes place before a diagnosis. Even if a family has it as a risk factor, the adolescent does not have the disease, and the actions he is taking may help prevent him getting it.

I agree with your answer...I would've picked primary prevention because he doesn't have the disease yet...eventhough his family has a hx of diabetes you are trying to prevent him from developing this problem
