Rehabilitation, health restoration, and palliative care - returning an individual to what they once was.

• A. Health Promotion
• B. Primary Prevention
• C. Secondary Prevention
• D. Tertiary Prevention

Answer: (D)

The focus is on care after illness or injury to restore function, reduce disability, and improve quality of life. This goal aligns with tertiary prevention, which targets people who already have a disease or have sustained an injury and aims to prevent further complications while helping them regain as much independence as possible. Rehabilitation and health restoration are about recovering abilities and adapting to limitations, and palliative care emphasizes comfort and quality of life when cure isn’t possible—both fit the idea of reducing the long-term impact of a health problem. In contrast, health promotion and primary prevention aim to prevent disease from occurring in the first place, while secondary prevention involves early detection to stop progression.
