Question

Erik designs a new electrical outlet that has spring-loaded covers that close when nothing is plugged in. This prevents children from getting shocked. Because this overall design makes injuries less likely, this is an example of _________ prevention

Answer 1

Answer:

Primary Prevention

Explanation:

Primary prevention can be referred to as any action taken to prevent something bad from happening. From the question, Erik has factored the spring-loaded covers as a preventive measures against shock for children. As long as this measure was to ensure no child is affected by electric shock, then it is classified under primary prevention. Secondary prevention tries to reduce or eliminate a number of accident that may have occurred in the past.
