Based on the Levels of Illness Prevention Chart, a nurse correctly identifies that a patient who has a family history of breast cancer is participating in activities to prevent illness or limit the progression of illness by exhibiting activities of primary prevention when the patient states,
 
1. “My mother died of breast cancer and I have undergone genetic testing to determine my genetic predisposition.”
2. “I have had a mammogram and do monthly self-breast examinations.”
3. “I have been on a lipid reducing agent to reduce my cholesterol levels.”
4. “I support breast cancer research by running in a half marathon.”

1 -- Genetic testing is primary prevention in that it determines genetically linked diseases before occurrence. Mammograms, self-breast exams, and taking lipid reducing agents to treat a specific disease are examples of secondary prevention. Supporting research is tertiary level prevention that helps in stopping the disease through research efforts.
