When approaching a stall, is the first priority to apply power or lower nose?

I’ve always wondered. And I’d assume it’s the same regardless of aircraft? But when approaching a stall would the main priority be adding more power?

I ask because what if a crew was on final for landing and approached a stall, the rear end is dropping and the nose is rising. I feel like the flaps at their current position during landing, would only make matters worse? And applying power could make more lift with a poor angle of attack?

Would a crew lower the flaps in that situation, after applying more power and pushing the control columns forward?
