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 ANSWER: 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 Name the character
that we are talking about
a. John Snow
b. Edward Jenner
c. DA Henderson
d. Leon Gordis
e. Ignaz
Semmelweis
ANSWER: E
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

was eradicated later by efforts organized by DA Henderson:
