Mortality Rate– Epidemiology – Diagnosis – Good health – Human Reservoir
Vehicles– Secondary prevention– Endemic – Outbreak– Sporadic. Put (T) or (F) in front of each of the following statements: 1- The term “environment” refers to intrinsic factors that affect the agent and the opportunity for exposure.( ) 2- Mechanical transmission means insects such as mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks may carry an infectious agent through purely mechanical means ( ) 3- Incubatory carriers are those who have recovered from their illness but remain capable of transmitting the illness to others. ( ) 4-The confirmed condition can be identified by sign and symptoms 5-Emerging refers to a disease that was eliminated in a certain country and then reappears. () 6-The estimated rate of all diseased cases (newly diagnosed and those under treatment) for a given year and specific location is the prevalence rate ( ) 7-The lower the infant mortality rate is, the better health care in the country or area generally is. ( ) 8- The general fertility rate is less informative than the crude birth rate.( ) 9- Secondary prevention – involves identifying people in whom a disease process has already begun but the clinical signs and symptoms of the illness have not yet developed. ( 10- The Total Fertility Rate is a more direct measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate.() Complete the following sentences 1- Three factors determine the disease/health problem process and make up the epidemiological triad are: ……………. , ………………., and…………….. 2- An infectious agent is transferred from a reservoir to a susceptible host by ……….…… or ……………….... 3- Infant mortality rate = ………………………………………… × 1,00 4- An infectious agent is transferred from a reservoir to a susceptible host by …………………… or ……………….... Answer (Two) of the following questions.
1-Good and Bad Health and Disease Conditions
2- Primary prevention activities 3- the types of prevention. 4-Secondary prevention activities.
