MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following is an example of tertiary prevention?
a. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger than the age of 1
year
b. Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone
cancer)
c. Screening for gestational diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy
d. Sexual education program in elementary schools
e. Increasing taxes for
buying cigarettes
ANSWER: B
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
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
ANSWER: E
Ignaz Semmelweis identified that medical students and
physicians transmitted the disease by not washing their
hands after examining bodies at autopsies and conducting
multiple examinations in the clinic.
3. Thanksto the contributions of Edward Jenner, the
following disease was eradicated later by efforts organized
by D.A. Henderson:
a. Cholera
b. Smallpox
c. Chickenpox
d. Polio
e. Zika
