A nursing student is examining the health services pyramid. Keeping in mind that care services begin at the bottom of this pyramid, in which order should care services be arranged?

1. Population based services

2. Clinical preventative services

3. Primary health care

4. Secondary health care

5. Tertiary health care

Explanation:

Going by the the health services pyramid, population-based health care services takes the lead, clinical preventive services is next level to population-based health care services in the pyramid. Since nurse needs to address primary health care (prenatal and baby care and nutrition counseling) of his/her clients, therefore, it comes third. Secondary health care services follows. Tertiary health care forms the highest level of health, which include intensive care came last.
