Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an example in which
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn




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.

ANSWER: D

Although medical treatments potentially helped in the decrease of infectious diseases, the

advancement in social conditions played a major role. These improvements include better

sanitation, safe disposal of waste, better nutrition, and improvement in housing conditions.
