The nurse is engaging in secondary prevention when providing treatment for the injury.This does not meet the criteria for injury prevention because the injury has already occurred.Primary prevention would occur to prevent the injury from occuring,such as teaching the employee about use of protective eyewear.Tertiary prevention strategies would follow treatment to prevent recurrence and to prevent more serious problems related to the foreign body from developing.
