    Which of the following should you do to someone with an infectious disease in the home?

    • Make them extra meals

    • Spend time at their side

    • Isolate them

    Correct Answer
    A. Isolate them
    Explanation
    To prevent the spread of the infectious disease, it is important to isolate the person who is infected. Isolation helps to minimize the contact between the infected individual and others, reducing the risk of transmission. By isolating the person, you can limit their interaction with family members or other individuals in the household, thus preventing the spread of the disease to others. This can be done by providing a separate room for the infected person and ensuring they have their own personal items and facilities to minimize contact with others.

    Correct Answer
    A. Winter
    Explanation
    Strep throat is mostly common in winter because it is caused by a bacterial infection called Streptococcus pyogenes, which thrives in colder temperatures.

Additionally, the cold and dry air during winter can cause the throat to become dry and irritated, making it more susceptible to infection.
