PHLT 301 EXAM 2 REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
discrete data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Data with space between possible data values (ex. final score of a
football game because you cannot have a score of 7.3 to 0.5, for example.)
One Health - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅organization that recognizes the connection between the health of
people and the health of animals and the environment
Best place to break the chain of infection - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅at the mode of transmission
Animal that carries Q fever - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅goat
quantitative data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅numerical data
qualitative data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅descriptive and observable characteristics (like race, gender,
ethnicity)
continuous data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Data that can take on any value in a range and has no space
between data. (ex. the average test score on the final of 93.4 because an average could be any numeric
number and have decimals.
Numeric Data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅same thing as quantitative data, dealing with numbers
Nominal Data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅data of categories only. Data cannot be arranged in an order or
rank. (Ex. Gender, Race, Religion)
binomial data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅two categories for the data (ex. true/false or yes/no)
ordinal data - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅data with categories that do have an implicit order. (Ex.
educational level, level of agreement (strongly agree, agree, disagree, etc.))
, route of exposure - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the way in which an individual might come into contact with
a disease, such as through contact with organisms or surfaces
portal of entry - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the route for the infectious agent to enter a host (ex. through
the respiratory tract or breaks in the skin)
portal of exit - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a way for the infectious agent to escape from the reservoir in
which it has been growing to spread to another host
host susceptibility - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The presence or lack of susceptibility of an individual to be
infected by the infectious agent (microorganism)
inductive reasoning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅using specific observations to form a theory
deductive reasoning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅using a general theory to make claims about specific
observations
accuracy - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅how close measurements are to the true value
Precision - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅how close measurements are to each other
Repeatability - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅getting the same outcome when the same operator measures the
same part multiple times
reproducibility - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅getting the same outcome when different operators measure
the same part multiple times
Epidemiology - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the study and analysis of the distribution and determinants of
health-related states or events (including disease)
