1. Which of the following is an example of an illness prevention activity?
a) Encouraging the use of a food diary
b) Joining a cancer support group
c) Administering immunization for HPV
d) Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet
ANS: C
Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although cancer is
a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have the disease;
therefore, it would be treatment and not disease prevention. Illness prevention activities focus
on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is a health promotion activity. Teaching a diabetic
patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already has diabetes, so the teaching
cannot prevent diabetes.

Continuing education is a professional strategy designed to ensure that nurses remain current
in their clinical knowledge. Many states require nurses to engage in a certain number of
continuing-education requirements to renew their license. The knowledge gained in the
nursing curriculum is sufficient for nursing school graduates to obtain their initial license.
Requirements for renewal of a nurse’s license can be found in the state’s nurse practice act
(state board of nursing).
