[The agent:] physical, infectious, or chemical factors that causes the disease &gt;drugs, toxins, noise, temperature, viruses, bacteria [the host:]the living being that an agent or the environment influences &gt;age, gender, genetics, ethnicity, immunological status, physiological state, occupation [the environment:]setting or surrounding that sustains the host &gt;access to healthcare, high risk working conditions, poverty, geography, water/food supply, presence of reservoirs/vectors.

Attack rate - ANSWER Number of people exposed to a specific agent who develop the disease/ total number of people exposed The epidemiological process - ANSWER *Determine the nature, extent, and possible significance of the problem.* &gt; During this phase of the process the nurse collects information from as many sources as possible. This information is then used to determine the scope of the problem. * using the gathered data, formulate a possible theory* * gather information from a variety of sources in order to narrow down the possibilities* &gt; the nurse evaluates the plausibility of the proposed hypothesis * make the plan* &gt; the nurse focuses on breaking the cycle of disease. Consider all factors influencing the spread of the disease. Establish priorities to break the chain of transmission and to control the spread of the disease. *put the plan into action* * evaluate the plan* &gt; success in prevention of the spread of disease * report and follow up* Healthy people 2020 - ANSWER National health goals are derived from scientific data and trends collected during the prior decade.
