What are secondary care services?

[deemarys]

My options are:

Acute care,

long term care

care of the dying

early detection and treatment

emergency care.

I chose Acute care, and Emergency care. I was told to pick 2. Am I right?

Sounds like you're talking about secondary prevention, which includes things like blood pressure screenings, early detection of diseases, etc. Secondary prevention identifies a problem before it leads to complications. Primary prevention works to prevent disease/illness, secondary works to prevent complications, and tertiary works to prevent disease progression once identified.

Hope this helps.

So you should probably have picked:

early detection and treatment

primary = preventative

secondary = er /acute care

Primary is when you have preventative care

Secondary is screenings like for eyes, hearing.

Tertiary is when you are at the hospital.
