refer to NURS 317 MIDTERM for rest :)

communicable disease
Ans: specific infectious agent or its toxic products that arises
through transmission to a susceptible host
- decreased morbidity and mortality bc of vaccines and
improvement of nutrition and sanitation and living conditions
- John snow and cholera street pump
- while we are at a prevention, control, and early detection
response lots of people die still mainly in resource poor

Ans: reduce the prevalence
it is shared responsibility (local public health departments have

local: active surveillance, infection control nurses
- CHN must monitor and report, education, HP, research, policy
four host factors that influence the spread of disease
Ans: 1. resistance: the ability of the host to WITHSTAND
infection
2. immunity: a resistance to an infectious agent
3. community immunity: resistance of group of people
4. infectiousness: a measure of the potential ability of an
infected host to transmit the infection to other hosts
Minnesota health wheel
Ans:
type of information you can use in surveillance
Ans: case definition, contact definition, contract tracing, mode
of transmission, contact identification, active and passive
surveillance
case-finding: locates individuals and families with identified ris k
factors and connects them to resources
