b. Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer)

d. Sexual education program in elementary schools n n n n n




e. Increasing taxes for buying cigarettes n n n n




ANSWER: B

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




when a disease is present the treatment (amputation) is done to reduce the impact of disease
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




by preventing the tumor from dissemination. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger than
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




the age of 1 year, sexual education program in elementary schools, and increasing taxes for buying
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




cigarettes represent examples of primary prevention. Screening for gestational diabetes after 24
n n n n n n n n n n n n




weeks of pregnancy is an example of secondary prevention.

treated by physicians and medical students compared with women treated by midwives. Based on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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 n




b. Edward Jenner n




c. D.A. Henderson n




d. Leon Gordis n

ANSWER: E

washing their hands after examining bodies at autopsies and conducting multiple examinations
n n n n n n n n n n n n




in the clinic.

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




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




mortalityrates from common infectious diseases?
n n n n n n




a. Development of penicillin n n




b. Development of insulin n n




c. Development of vaccines n n




d. Improvement in social conditions n n n




e. Worse sanitation and unsafe water
n n n n




ANSWER: D
n n




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




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




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