Item one states community health nurses’ roles in the prevention and control of
communicable diseases include disease surveillance, monitoring disease outbreaks and provide
education of infection prevention. This statement is true and aligns with the course objective one
that the student will be able to explain approaches to controlling communicable diseases.
Item two is a matching question asking the student to match the correct period with the
description. The latent period is the replication period, the communicable period is the
contagious period, and the incubation period is time from infection to when the symptoms
appear. This aligns with student learning objective one the student will be able to discuss the
chain of transmission of the most common communicable diseases. This will show that the
student has an understanding of when a communicable disease is most contagious.
Item three asks, in the chain of transmission, what a reservoir is? The answer is b. the
environment where a pathogen lives. This aligns with student-learning objective number one,
which is that the student will be able to discuss the chain of transmission of the most common
communicable diseases. This will show that the student has an understanding of disease
transmission.
Item four asks when mosquitos transmit a disease such as St Louis encephalitis; the
mosquito is called a vector. This aligns with student-learning objective number one, which is that
the student will be able to discuss the chain of transmission of the most common communicable
diseases. This will show that the student has an understanding of disease transmission.
Item five asks who has the responsibility for monitoring and controlling communicable
diseases. The answer is the state health departments and the CDC. This aligns with course
