Saudi Arabia has one of the world's highest diabetes prevalence rates (over 18%). Contributing factors include rapid dietary westernization (high-calorie, refined carbohydrate diets), sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, physical inactivity, and obesity — all modifiable risk factors.

Question 4

A nurse working in an occupational health setting assesses a factory worker with hearing loss. What type of prevention is provided by ear protection?

Accepted Answer

Primary prevention

What is the correct approach to contact tracing for a newly diagnosed HIV patient?

Accepted Answer

Confidentially notify sexual and needle-sharing partners of potential exposure
