MULTIPLE CHOICE
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
cigarettesANSWER: 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 diseaseby 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.Name the character that we are talking about.
a. John Snow
b. Edward Jenner
c. D.A. Henderson

e. Ignaz Semmelweis
ANSWER: E
Ignaz Semmelweis identified that medical students and physicians transmitted the disease
bynot washing their hands after examining bodies at autopsies and conducting multiple
examinations in the clinic.
3. Thanks to the contributions of Edward Jenner, the following disease was eradicated
laterby efforts organized by D.A. Henderson:
a. Cholera
