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 was 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 /|


d. Leon Gordis /|


e. Ignaz Semmelweis /|




ANS: 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
b. Smallpox
c. Chickenpox
d. Polio
e. Zika



ANS: B /|




Smallpox was eradicated in 1980. Edward Jenner vaccinated James Phipps in 1796 against
/ | / | / | / | / | / | /| / | / | / | / | / |


smallpox. Almost 200 years later, the World Health Organization (WHO) commissioned
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|


D.A. Henderson to lead the efforts to eradicate the disease.
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|




4. Over the past century, a marked decline in the mortality rates of many infectious diseases has
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|


been observed. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the observed declinein
/| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /| /|


mortality rates from common infectious diseases?
/| /| /| /| /| /|




a. Development of penicillin /| /|


b. Development of insulin /| /|


c. Development of vaccines /| /|


d. Improvement in social conditions /| /| /|


e. Worse sanitation and unsafe water
/| /| /| /|




ANS: 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.
