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

“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

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