NURS 375 Final Question and answers rated A+ 2025
1. Which infections continue to increase
-STDs
in the United States?
-Treatable sexually transmitted
dis- eases (STDs), such as
syphilis and gonorrhea, had
declined until 2000 but
increased in 2007 for the
seventh straight year. At the
same time, in- cidence of
chlamydia, another treat- able
STD, has increased steadily
since 1995, and the number of
cas- es reached 1,108,374
2. What is particularly notable about

infectious disease in the United
100,000 people) in 2007.
States?
-Rate of infection varies
extensively by income and
ethnic groups.
-Probably one of the most
profound failures in infectious
disease control in the United
States and elsewhere is that the
successes are not equally
distributed in the general
population. Infectious diseases
continue to be dif- ferentially
distributed by income and ethnic
groups, and the poor and mi-
norities continue to experience
the greater burden.
3. What is a fairly recent surprise regarding infec- - Cervical cancer and

tious diseases in the United disease may be caused by
States? infectious agents.
-Recent scientific discoveries on
the infectious etiology of stomach
ulcers, coronary artery disease,
and cervical cancer, for example,
suggest that in-

fectious agents may be
responsible for more morbidity
and mortality than previously
recognized.
4. Which component of the
epidemiological tri- angle is primarily -Host
responsible for a female client having -Infectious diseases are the result
a fungal vaginal infection after of interaction among the human
host,
being treated with antibiotics for strep throat? an infectious agent, and
the envi-
ronment, which surrounds
the hu- man host and where
transmission is occurring. This
interaction is pic-
tured in the epidemiological triad
of agent, host, and environment
also discussed in Chapter 5. The
antibiotic therapy eliminated a
specific patho- logical agent, but
it also may alter the balance of
normally occurring or- ganisms in
the woman's body, which caused
a change in the vaginal en-
vironment allowing normally
present fungi to proliferate,
resulting in a yeast infection.
5. Which is true concerning tuberculosis -Under certain conditions,
infec- tions in the United States? suscepti- ble hosts may be
infected by the tu- berculosis
bacillus.
, NURS 375 Final Question and answers rated A+ 2025
-The principle of multicausation em- phasizes that an infectious
agent alone is not suflcient to cause dis- ease; the agent
must be transmit- ted within a conducive environment to a
susceptible host. Tuberculosis is
