The answer is: Screening for early detection of diseases.

Explanation:

  1. Primary Prevention: This involves activities aimed at preventing the onset of disease or injury. Examples include immunizations, health education, and lifestyle modifications.

  2. Secondary Prevention: This focuses on early detection and prompt intervention to prevent the progression of disease. Screening tests, such as mammograms, blood pressure checks, and cholesterol tests, are typical examples of secondary prevention activities. These activities help identify diseases in their early stages when they are more treatable.

  3. Tertiary Prevention: This involves managing and reducing the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects. Rehabilitation programs and support groups are examples of tertiary prevention.

In summary, secondary prevention in nursing is primarily about screening and early detection of diseases to initiate early treatment and prevent further complications.
