Chain of infection?
1-infectious agent or pathogen 2-A reservoir or sources for pathogens growth 3-port of exit from the reservoir 4-transmission 5-port of entry to a host 6- host
If an infectious disease can be transmitted directly from one per-
son to another, it is termed
Communicable disease
Course of infection by stage
incubation period: Interval from onset of nonspecific signs and symptoms (malaise, low-grade fever, fatigue) to more specific symptoms.
Prodromal stage: Interval from onset of nonspecific signs and symptoms (malaise, low-grade fever, fatigue) to more specific symptoms.
Illness Stage: Interval when patient manifests signs and symptoms specific to type of infection. For example, strep throat is manifested by sore throat, pain.
Convalescence: Interval when acute symptoms of infection disappear.

is how a person interprets
the impact of the stressor. It is also a personal evaluation of the
meaning of the event to what is happening and a consideration of

is a mind-body therapy that uses the con-
scious mind to create mental images to stimulate physical changes in
the body, improve perceived well-being, and/or enhance self-awareness.
Frequently imagery, combined with some form of relaxation training,
facilitates the effect of the relaxation technique.
Imagery
is a mind-body technique that uses instruments to teach
self-regulation and voluntary self-control over specific physiological
responses. Electronic or electromechanical instruments measure, process, and provide information to patients about their muscle tension,cardiac activity, respiratory rates, brain-wave patterns, and autonomic
nervous system activity.
