Someone with a headache represents a person with an illness. An illness is made up of the
subjective experience of the individual and the physical manifestation of disease. It can be
described as a response characterized by a mismatch between a person‘s needs and the
resources available to meet those needs. A person can have a disease without feeling ill. The
other choices represent disease.

6. Which of the following represents a method of primary prevention?
a. Informational session about healthy lifestyles
b. Blood pressure screening
c. Interventional cardiac catheterization
d. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization

7. Which of the following represents a method of secondary prevention?
a. Self–breast examination education

tool for breast cancer and thus is considered a method of secondary prevention.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 15
8. Which of the following represents a method of tertiary prevention?
a. Drunk driving campaign
b. Road blocks for drunk driving
c. Emergency surgery for head trauma after a motor vehicle accident

maximize remaining capacities.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 15
