pment of hospitals than on
nursing; this need provided one more setting for nursing work.
3 Throughout the centuries, stability of the government has been related to the
success of the military to protect or extend its domain. As the survival and
well-being of soldiers are both critical, nurses provided healthcare to the sick
and injured at the battle site.
4 Germ theory and sanitation helped to improve healthcare but did not shape
nursing.

PTS: 1 CON: Professionalism

1) Encouraging the use of a food diary
2) Joining a cancer support group
3) Administering immunization for HPV
4) Teaching a diabetic patient about his diet

, Cognitive level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Health Promotion
Difficulty: Moderate
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 have the disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but
treatment.
3 Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention.
4 Teaching a diabetic patient about diet is a treatment for diabetes; the patient
already has diabetes, so it cannot prevent diabetes.

PTS: 1 CON: Health Promotion
