the word "action" differentiated

Hi,

Thank you for your anticipated help.

According to the Collins/Cobuild Compact English Learner's Dictionary, for its two definitions, among its several definitions, the word "action" is defined/noted like these:

N-U Action is doing something for a particular purpose.

N-C An action is something you do on a particular occasion.

How are they different? I find them difficult to differentiate.
