Primary care is a valid, legal responsibility of the practicing occupational health nurse and accounts for a high percentage of the occupational health nurse's daily activities when considered on a local, national, and international level. Historically, the varying definitions of primary care presented have led to confusion among practitioners who are attempting to categorize their services. The author attempts to express a workable interrelationship among these numerous terms including, "primary care," "health promotion," and "disease prevention." The legal, economic, and professional climate is right for the occupational health nurse to assert her role in primary care; the scope and depth in which the occupational health nurse may currently provide primary care has greatly expanded with two current examples being the Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and safety and accident prevention programs.
初级保健是执业职业健康护士的一项合理、合法的职责，从地方、国家和国际层面来看，它在职业健康护士的日常活动中占比很高。从历史上看，所呈现的初级保健的不同定义导致了试图对其服务进行分类的从业者之间的困惑。作者试图阐明包括“初级保健”“健康促进”和“疾病预防”在内的众多术语之间可行的相互关系。法律、经济和专业环境有利于职业健康护士确立其在初级保健中的角色；职业健康护士目前提供初级保健的范围和深度已大幅扩大，当前的两个例子是员工援助计划（EAP）以及安全与事故预防计划。
