BTG Practice Question Gerontologist

by mundasingh123 » Sun Jan 16, 2011 1:59 am
Gerontologist: Eight percent of adults over age 70 who contract the Australian flu suffer from life-threatening symptoms. An immunization shot provides near-total protection from Australian flu, and causes life-threatening symptoms in only .01 percent of immunized people over age 70. All adults over age 70 would therefore be wise to get an immunization shot that targets the Australian flu.
Which would be most helpful in evaluating the gerontologist's argument above?
A)the likely percentage of people over age 70 who will contract the Australian flu
B)the death rate of adults over age 70 who suffer life-threatening Australian flu symptoms
C)the efficacy and dangers of Australian flu shots for adults under age 70
D)the cost of each Australian flu immunization shot
E)the percentage of adults over age 70 who suffer life-threatening symptoms as a result of diseases other than the Australian flu
