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.

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

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?

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.
