WGU D583 FOUNDATIONS IN PUBLIC HEALTH VERIFIED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS FOR EASY EXAM PASS
What is a pathogens infectivity a measure of?
The pathogen's capacity to infiltrate, endure, and proliferate within the host
Contagiousness
The capacity of an agent (PATHOGEN) to infect a host
What defines a pathogen's pathogenicity?
The capacity to avoid the host's immunological system
pathogenicity
The ability of a pathogen (an agent) to infect a host and cause illness
When discussing infectious diseases, what does the term "virulence" mean?
The ability of a pathogen to cause damage to its host
The virulence
The extent to which a pathogen (PATHOGEN) can seriously injure a host; a
high virulence level indicates that the pathogen can do so (SEVERITY).
antigenicity
The capacity of an agent (pathogen), especially its antigens, to trigger the host's
, immunological response
Which three elements make to the epidemiologic triangle?
Environment, Host, and Agent
What is the purpose of the epidemiologic triangle
to provide a framework to study the relationship between the host, the agent,
and the environment
Epidemiologic Triangle Agent/Pathogen Features: toxicity, virulence, and
infectivity; antibiotic susceptibility; and the capacity to last beyond the body
The epidemiologic triangle's host features include the host's customs, habits,
behaviours, and other health issues.
Example: Behaviour related to IV drug usage, which is a host factor
Depression diagnosis: host factor since it affects the individual
Environmental aspects of the epidemiologic triangle
Incorporate every aspect of the host, such as the physical structures, social
structure, population density, and climate.
Example: cultural beliefs surrounding HIV infection
We offer education (treat, isolate, immunise, and nourish) as a host intervention
inside the epidemiological triangle.
The environment Intervention in the epidemoligic triangle
We can change activity patterns through our use of quarantine (housing quality,
sanitation, water, preventive services)
Example: IV drug use: initiating a program for exchanging needles or gaining
access to preventive medical care
By removing the organism's breeding sites and improving cleanliness, we can
eliminate it through agent intervention within the epidemoligic triangle
(eradicate, genetically modify).
