TEST BANK: FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING, 3RD EDITION, BY WILKINSON
Chapter 1. Evolution of Nursing Thought & Action MULTIPLE CHOICE 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.

Which organization can require nurses to take continuing education courses as a condition of licensure renewal? a. American Nurses Association b. National League for Nursing c. Sigma Theta Tau d. State Board of Nursing ANS: D 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).
