PUBH 6127 FINAL PAPER EXAM 2026
PRACTICE SOLUTION TESTED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
●● Which of the following is true about influenza? Answer: *all
-attenuated/live vaccines are being investigated for nasal administration
-the rapid mutation of influenza requires annual changes in seasonal flu
vaccines
-Influenza's short incubation period and ability to be readily transmitted
through the air before the appearance of symptoms gives it potential for
epidemic spread
●● Which of the following is the most accurate statement about the
eradication of disease? Answer: *the optimum conditions for eradication
of a disease include the absence of animal reservoirs; absence of long-
term carrier states; and the development of potent, long-term protection
through natural infection or vaccination.
-smallpox and polio are the only diseases that can potentially be
eradicated
-eradication is made easier if the disease can be transmitted before the
appearance of symptoms
-eradication is likely to be the primary method of disease prevention in
the future
, ●● Which statement is true about the burden of communicable diseases?
Answer: -they are caused by a wide variety of organisms
-they are no longer the leading cause of death in developed countries
-new and re-emerging infectious diseases are a threat to public health
*all
●● Which of the following is NOT true of the impact of the environment
on health? Answer: -environmental factors may interact with other
determinants of health to multiply the risk of disease
*middle aged adults are more likely to experience motor vehicle injuries
and death than those age 1 - 24.
-the impact of the environment on health is difficult to measure because
environmental exposures may have long-term and often subtle impacts
on health
-the recognition that small-particle pollution contributes to coronary
artery disease greatly increases the estimated impact of the environment
on health.
●● Which of the following environmental hazards has been shown to
have an impact on coronary artery disease? Answer: -benzene
-lead
-mercury
*small-particle air pollution
