Feedback
1 Illness-prevention activities focus on avoiding a specific disease. A food diary is
a health-promotion activity.
2 Although cancer is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group
would already haveJthe disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatmen
t.
3 Administering immunization for HPV is an exampleJof illnessJprevention.
4 Teaching a diabetic patient aboutJdiet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient already
has diabetes, soJit cannot prevent diabetes.
