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-

Administering immunization for HPV is an example of illness prevention. Although canc

er is a disease, it is assumed that a person joining a support group would already have th

e disease; therefore, this is not disease prevention but treatment. 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; t
