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
cigarettesANSWER: 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 diseaseby 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 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
