Tick the three (3) categories of the modes of transmission
- A.
Contact
- B.
Droplet
- C.
Airborne
- D.
Touching
Correct Answer(s)
A. Contact
B. Droplet
C. AirborneExplanation
The correct answer is Contact, Droplet, and Airborne. These three categories refer to different ways in which diseases can be transmitted from one person to another. Contact transmission occurs when there is direct physical contact between individuals, such as touching or sexual intercourse. Droplet transmission happens when respiratory droplets from an infected person are inhaled by another person in close proximity. Airborne transmission occurs when infectious particles are suspended in the air and can be inhaled by people in the vicinity. These modes of transmission are important to understand in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.Rate this question:

Transfer of micro organisms results from direct physical contact is known as ________?
- A.
Direct transmission
- B.
Passive transfer
- C.
Droplet
- D.
Indirect transmission
Correct Answer
A. Direct transmissionExplanation
Direct transmission refers to the transfer of microorganisms from one person to another through direct physical contact. This can occur through activities such as touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse. In direct transmission, the microorganisms are directly transferred from the infected person to the susceptible person without any intermediary. This mode of transmission is common for diseases caused by pathogens that can survive outside the body for a short period of time and can be easily transmitted through close contact.Rate this question:

The passive transfer of an infectious agent to a susceptible host via an intermediate object is known as ________?
- A.
Indirect transmission
- B.
Passive transfer
- C.
Droplet
- D.
Direct transmission
Correct Answer
A. Indirect transmissionExplanation
Indirect transmission refers to the passive transfer of an infectious agent to a susceptible host through an intermediate object. This means that the infection is not directly spread from person to person, but rather through objects or surfaces that have been contaminated with the infectious agent. This mode of transmission can occur through various means such as touching contaminated surfaces, sharing contaminated objects, or inhaling airborne particles. Therefore, indirect transmission is the correct term to describe this process.Rate this question:

Please tick the components of the "Chain of Infection"
- A.
Source of infectious agent
- B.
Mode of transmission
- C.
Susceptible host
- D.
Infectious disease
Correct Answer(s)
A. Source of infectious agent
B. Mode of transmission
C. Susceptible hostExplanation
The components of the "Chain of Infection" are the source of the infectious agent, the mode of transmission, and the susceptible host. The source of the infectious agent refers to the origin of the pathogen, such as a person, animal, or contaminated object. The mode of transmission is the way in which the pathogen is spread, such as through direct contact, airborne droplets, or contaminated food/water. The susceptible host is an individual who is vulnerable to the infection and can become infected if exposed to the pathogen. The infectious disease is not a component of the chain of infection, but rather the outcome of the transmission of the pathogen to a susceptible host.Rate this question:
