chain of infection
- correct answer infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry,
susceptible host
Vehicle to Transmissions (8)
- correct answer Direct Contact; Indirect Contact; Human Carrier; Airborne; Water Borne; Food-Born;
Vectors; Blood-Born
Single most useful and effective means of breaking chain of infection
- correct answer Hand washing
What is the most frequent mode of disease transmission?
- correct answer direct contact
Normal Cause of Infection
- correct answer Phase 1: Incubation period
Phase 2: prodromal stage
