What elements compromise a susceptible host? --- correct precise
answer ---Immune Status, Overall Health, Nutritional Status
In terms of the chain of infection what does primary prevention
include? --- correct precise answer ---Eliminate or sanitize the
reservoir, Eliminate or cover the portal of exit, Eliminate or cleanse
the transmission mode, cover or filter the portal of entry, Place the
host in good health and immunize when available.
Describe the process of active immunity? --- correct precise answer
---Body produces its own antibodies in response to having been
vaccinated or having a specific disease pathogen invade the body
Describe examples of passive immunity? --- correct precise answer -
--Administration of immune globulin, Transplacental transfer of
immune globulins to the fetus, transfer of antibodies and other
immunoprotectant in human breast milk
Define Herd Immunity? --- correct precise answer ---The resistance
a population has to the invasion and spread of an infectious disease.
What is Herd Immunity based on? --- correct precise answer ---
Based on the notion that if a population or group is mostly
protected from a disease by immunizations then the chance of a
major epidemic occurring is reduced.
,What percentage of immunization in the population must be
reached for herd immunity to occur? --- correct precise answer ---At
least 85%
What is cocooning? --- correct precise answer ---Used to protect
infants from communicable diseases. Only family and friends who
are fully immunized are allowed to be around the infant.
When is isolation used? --- correct precise answer ---Used in the
inpatient setting (hospitals/nursing homes), used for persons who
are known to be ill with a contagious disease.
State laws as well as accrediting organizations and isolation? ---
correct precise answer ---Require one or two beds to be designated

When does Quarantine occur?? --- correct precise answer ---Used
for persons who have been exposed to a contagious disease but may
or may not become ill.
Example of Quarantine in action? --- correct precise answer ---
Exposure to COVID19 quarantining at home.
Descriptive epidemiology describes what? --- correct precise answer
---Frequency of events, and Pattern of Events (Who- Person,
Where- Place, When- Time)
, What graphics can be used to describe person? --- correct precise
answer ---Tables, and Population Pyramid
What graphics can be used to describe place? --- correct precise
answer ---Spot maps
What graphics can be used to describe time? --- correct precise
answer ---Event Timelines
Define Public Health Surveillance --- correct precise answer ---
Ongoing, systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of
health-related data essential to information for the planning,
implementation, and of public health practice, closely integrated
with the timely dissemination of these data to those responsible for
prevention and control
What does Public Health Surveillance use data for? --- correct
precise answer ---To monitor health problems to facilitate their
prevention or control.
What can information gained from surveillance be used for? ---
correct precise answer ---Planning disease control and prevention
programs, Policy-making
What are health indicators? --- correct precise answer ---Markers of
health status. Anything that could effect health or illness is a health
indicator.
