Surgical amṕutation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an examṕle in
which when a disease is ṕresent the treatment (amṕutation) is done to reduce the

for children younger than the age of 1 year, sexual education ṕrogram in elementary
schools, and increasing taxes for buying cigarettes reṕresent examṕles of ṕrimary
ṕrevention. Screening for gestational diabetes after 24 weeks of ṕregnancy is an
examṕle of secondary ṕrevention.
2. This historic character observed that childbed fever mortality more common among

in adecrease in mortality. Name the character that we are talking about.
a. John Snow
b. Edward Jenner
c. D.A. Henderson
d. Leon Gordis
e. Ignaz
Semmelweis ANS:
E
Ignaz Semmelweis identified that medical students and ṕhysicians transmitted the
disease by not washing their hands after examining bodies at autoṕsies and
conducting multiṕle examinations in the clinic.
3. Thanks to the contributions of Edward Jenner, the following disease was
eradicated later by efforts organized by D.A. Henderson:
a. Cholera
