,1. Which of the following is an example of tertiary prevention?
a. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger than the age of 1 year
b. Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer)
c. Screening for gestational diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy
d. Sexual education program in elementary schools
e. Increasing taxes for buying cigarettes
ANS: B
Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an example in which
when a disease is present the treatment (amputation) is done to reduce the impact of disease
by preventing the tumor from dissemination. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger
than the age of 1 year, sexual education program in elementary schools, and increasing taxes
for buying cigarettes represent examples of primary prevention. Screening for gestational
diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy is an example of secondary prevention.
2. This historic character observed that childbed fever mortality more common among women
treated by physicians and medical students compared with women treated by midwives. Based
on his observations, he implemented a hand wash policy that resulted in adecrease in mortality.

Ignaz Semmelweis identified that medical students and physicians transmitted the disease by
not washing their hands after examining bodies at autopsies and conducting multiple
examinations in the clinic.
