EPIDEMIOLOGY

Question 1

separation for the period of communicability, of infected persons or animals from others in such places and under such conditions as to prevent or limit the effect of the direct or indirect transmission of the infectious agent from those infected to those who are susceptible or who may spread the disease agent.

Answer 1

ISOLATION

Question 2

an increase in the frequency (incidence) of a disease above the usual and expected rate, which is called the endemic rate

Answer 2

EPIDEMIC

Question 3

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

to prevent infections that are transmitted by direct or
indirect contact with infected blood or body fluids

Answer 3

BLOOD / BODY FLUID PRECAUTIONS

Question 4

contaminated inanimate objects or materials

Answer 4

VEHICLE BORNE

Question 5

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

for less highly transmissible or serious infections, for disease or conditions which are spread primarily by close or direct contact

Answer 5

CONTACT ISOLATION

Question 6

measures the ability of agent when lodged in the body set up a specific reaction

Answer 6

PATHOGENICITY

Question 7

the ultimate goal of epidemiology is to ________

Answer 7

control and prevent the spread of disease

Question 8

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

to prevent transmission of infectious diseases over short distances through the air

Answer 8

RESPIRATORY ISOLATION

Question 9

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

for patient with pulmonary tuberculosis who have a positive sputum smear or chest x-rays which strongly suggest active tuberculosis

Answer 9

TUBERCULOSIS ISOLATION

Question 10

usually small residues which result from evaporation of fluid from droplets emitted by an infected host

Answer 10

DROPLET NUCLEI

Question 11

restriction of the activities of a well persons or animals who have been exposed to a case of communicable diseases during its period of communicability to prevent disease transmission during incubation of infection should occur

Answer 11

QUARANTINE

Question 12

This phase includes the successful invasion and establishment of the agent in the host

Answer 12

PATHOGENESIS

Question 13

these are cells in our body like plasma cells and lymphocytes that produce antibodies to neutralize harmful effects of the infectious agents and body fluids in our body that possess substance that have antimicrobial properties

Answer 13

HUMORAL DEFENSE

Question 14

there are cells in our body like macrophages and neutrophilsinvolve in the process of phagocytosis

Answer 14

CELLULAR DEFENSE

Question 15

immediate transfer of infectious agent a receptive portal of entry

Answer 15

DIRECT TRANSMISSION

Question 16

CATEGORIES OF QUARANTINE:

Selective, partial limitation of freedom of movements of contacts

Answer 16

MODIFIED QUARANTINE

Question 17

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

for infectious transmitted by direct or indirect contact with feces purulent material or drainage from an infected body site

Answer 17

ENTERIC PRECAUTIONS

Question 18

dissemination of microbial aerosols to a suitable portal of entry usually the respiratory tract

Answer 18

AIRBORNE

Question 19

Study the occurrence and distribution of diseases as well as the distribution of determinants of health state or events in a specified population and the application of this study to control health problems

Answer 19

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Question 20

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

to prevent infections transmitted by direct or indirect
contact with purulent material or drainage from an infected body site

Answer 20

DRAINAGE / SECREATION PRECAUTIONS

Question 21

the great public health leader of the early 20th century, called epidemiology “the diagnostic discipline of public health.”

Answer 21

C-E.A. WINSLOW

Question 22

surveillance made by the
government before many people start dying

Answer 22

NOTIFIABLE DISEASE

Question 23

Time between exposure to infectious agent up to the time of appearance of the earliest signs and symptoms

Answer 23

INCUBATION PERIOD

Question 24

Indirect transmission from other living organisms (ex. Insects)

Answer 24

VECTOR BORNE

Question 25

ability to gain access and adapt to the human host to the extent of finding of finding lodgment and multiplication

Answer 25

INFECTIVITY

Question 26

ability to stimulate the host to produce antibody

Answer 26

ANTIGENICITY

Question 27

CATEGORIES OF QUARANTINE:

Limitation of movement of those exposed to a communicable disease for a period of time not longer than the longest usual incubation period of that disease

Answer 27

ABSOLUTE OR COMPLETE QUARANTINE

Question 28

TWO TYPES OF INCUBATION PERIOD:

The time taken by the parasite to complete its development in the definite host (from the time of entry of the infective larvae to the presence of microfilariae)

Answer 28

INTRINSIC / BIOLOGICAL INCUBATION PERIOD

Question 29

CATEGORIES OF ISOLATION:

this category is designed to prevent transmission of highly contagious or virulent infectious that may spread by direct contact or droplet

Question 31

This is the phase before man is involved. Through the interaction of the agent, the host, and environmental
factors, the agent finally reaches the man
